Letters to MBTI: New Idea!
Hello, hello, so it’s about time that I start up a new line of posts that will be sure to be interesting, thoughtful, funny, and all of those other adjectives that make you think “yeah it’s good”. Because that’s as about as generic and underwhelming as approval can get! Yay!
So, the idea is that I will be making posts, or “letters”, to the any and all of the mbti types basically just telling them things that I want them to know! A lot of these things will probably be positive and encouraging because that’s what I’m about a lot of the time, but it really can range anywhere to funny stories that involve them, constructive criticism for them, heart-felt thoughts on their actions, way of being, etc.. It is literally so open-ended that it’s hard to encapsulate all of the things that this can be.
The one thing that I do not want this to be is an excuse to flame or perpetuate hate about specific types. And the reason that I say that is because I want this continuous project to be as much of yours as it is mine. I will, of course, make my own letters to the types, but I will also encourage anyone who sees these and wants to participate to make their own! My inbox/Submit option is open, so you could very easily give it a title and body structure that follows the format, and help perpetuate as many good, constructive, interesting and entertaining ideas and knowledge about the types and this theory that we've come accustomed to as you can!
There will be no order in terms of which types will be written to first. Simply, which ever ones are most easy for me to write about will be the ones that I start with. And then the others will become more involved as time goes on. But the point is that if you wish to see more posts about a certain type, then you can contribute and make that happen. Then maybe your additions will even inspire someone else, and there will be even more than before!
So, for clarification, here is the basic structure that I’ll be following, and I’ll edit any submissions to have as well to maintain consistency and readability.
Title: Letters to MBTI: XXXX #___
Body paragraph. Can have any structure you want; give it some personality!
The greetings, farewell and signatures can also be improvised! I will probably be changing my own for each post, or depending on the context of the message. Greetings can be things like “Dear”, “Hello”, “Hey”, “Salutations”, even something like, I don't know, “Excuse me, XXXX”. The point is that you can choose any way to greet the type that you’re writing to that you think fits the message, or fits you!
Same thing goes for how you say goodbye. You can say “farewell”, “goodbye”, “take care”, “best”, “love”, “later”, “talk soon”, or any other number of ways you choose to say goodbye.
Your signature can also be whatever you want! It can be just your type, it can be your name and your type, or a description of you, or whatever you’d like. For example, I could say “Isaac, an INTP who is very sleepy at the moment” if I wanted to. (I’m not that sleepy right now, that was a complete lie.)
The cool thing about this project/idea is that it can be as big and complex and intricate or as simple and repetitive and small as we choose to make it be. I’m hoping for the former, because it would be so cool to build something so unique and multi-faceted that it’s hard to explain. But time will tell what it will become!
Anyway, that is my project for right now. There will probably be more things coming for this blog too, that I have not figured out, but one thing at a time.
Let’s make something interesting, and weird, and constructive, and thoughtful, and positive, and hilarious and positive together!
