Feeling every word. I am a 4, too. And melancholy has been a topic of obsessive-but-soulful interest for me ever since I can remember. The joy of sadness. The beauty of grief. Somehow it's all there, inside, like gems that a world so very focused on constant happiness has forgotten exist. And yet I feel that the sadness, the melancholy, are seeds of art and poetry and, consequentially, joy.

YES! There is a joy within those seedling moments. It's a hard feeling to describe. Oh! I'm so happy to meet another 4 😊.... a seedling of joy for my morning.

I'm so happy to meet another 4, too! I have already met a couple of 4s, and it's so fascinating how it all aligns – so beautiful to feel seen in the struggles and the gifts of it.
