I caught a very special pokemon 🐎

Hi everyone,

I want to share something that happened to me earlier today. About a month ago, I started this YouTube channel and have been posting videos about my mental health journey. I document my days, what I do and how I feel. Anyway, it's been therapeutic. Earlier today, I was eating my lunch and hanging out with my INTP fiancé on Discord (over a private video call), and he said, "Hey, did you post anything on YouTube because I checked last night and did not see anything?" To which I replied, "It was published this morning". This man looks forward to watching my videos. Guys, I'm an amateur, but this man treats them as if Christopher Nolan directed them.

I was eating my food and looking at him, watching my video with so much focus and passion. Some of these videos barely have 10 views, but seeing him watch and enjoy them healed me in ways I can't explain. Tears were coming down my face. I couldn't stop crying. He noticed at some point and got a bit emotional himself after I explained why I was crying. He said, "I'll always support you. I'm there for you."

My dear infjs, I caught a rare pokemon. I want to share with you the following: the right person will soften your heart and will make you feel and face these emotions with certainty and confidence. May you find the individual of your dreams. A person who will make you feel like you're unstoppable. A person who will love you for who you are to your core and will remain a safe space at all times. I know it is difficult for us infjs to find our "person" as we feel so different from everybody. Keep your head up. There's someone out there for you.

An INFJ ❤️‍🩹

Documenting my mental health

I went through a work-related burnout, and my physician gave me time off to take care of myself. I'm not really big on journaling, but I wanted to have something to look back on in a couple of months. I started a YouTube channel and have been posting twice per week. It's very liberating, and I invite anyone struggling to do that if they want to look back on the progress they make.

Sometimes, I just record myself cleaning up or cooking, going to a café etc. I talk to the camera too. It's deeply personal and it feels like a visual diary.

I really find this to be therapeutic. What about you? What helps you in these moments?
