Only Feeling - New Song on Soundcloud + Typology rant

Here's the latest edition to my song diary.
 

Only Feeling - me

I've got an ocean full of tidal waves
I need a float so I can drift away

Image is 
Everything 
Show me now
What you bring
Elbows in
Let's begin

Give me a window
Give me a hand
Give me a threshold 
Give me a plan
Is this the end all
I always run till I fall
Now my feet are slowing

Give me a window
Give me a hand
Give me a threshold 
Give me a plan
This can't be it at all (recorded as This can't be the end all - changing it)
I think I'll manage a crawl
And just keep on going

I've traveled down a hundred rugged roads
Don't need a dollar just to fill my soul

Music is 
Everything
Show me now 
what you bring
Elbows in 
Let's begin

Ladadadadadie
ladadada
Ladadadadadie
ladadada
You're always thinking
Always thinking
I'm only feeling x2

Despite the shadows and the teary eyes
You're always seeing sunny skies

The heart knows
Everything
Show me now
What you bring
Elbows in
Let's begin

Give me a window
Give me a hand
Give me a threshold 
Give me a plan
Is this the end all
I always run till I fall
Now my feet are slowing

Give me a window
Give me a hand
Give me a threshold 
Give me a plan
This can't be it at all
I think I'll manage a crawl
And just keep on going

On Typology

This song is titled "Only Feeling" as a side reference to Jung Typology tests. I am a NF (Intuitive Feeling) person or Idealist. I enjoy logic, math and technology, but my intuition and feelings rule when it comes to life decisions and relationships.  I am a total dreamer and that is the trademark of Idealists. Sometime's it's hard for me to understand "T's" or Thinkers.

Right now I am considered an ENFP but the E (Extrovert) and the P (Perceiving) aren't as strong as the NF. I have tested as INFP and ENFJ in the past, while going through different phases. The NF always stays the same. At the moment I test as ENFP across the board and it seems to be the type that I identify the most with.

After Jung created typology Myers & Briggs contributed to it's further development. Then Keirsey came along and came up with nicknames for each type. Keirsey labeled ENFPs as Champions. According to this Wikipedia article, "Champions have a strong desire to make their thoughts known to the world." This is ridiculously accurate in my case. I have been performing all of my life in one way or another and I am always looking out for kindred spirits. 

Do you know your personality type? Has it ever changed? If you haven't been tested yet this free one from Humanetrics is a good start. People can totally fit into different categories, similar to astrology, but I find that it's solid information to help me along my path towards self understanding.

"Elbows in, Let's begin" is residual training from years of ballet and jazz classes. I totally miss them! I'm thinking of joining some sort of hiphop class for exercise, but I'm gonna have to settle for video tutorials for now. One day I'll be dance video ready...
