"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions." |
| ~ Susan Cain, Quiet (via framesjanco) this is me in a nutshell. |
i told myself
i wouldn’t become this girl-
the one who regrets so much,
scared of the silent touch
of fear itself.
i told myself
i would hold onto
who i was forever.
my endless river
curves
in its path,
unwinding itself as the waters of the unfamiliar
ripple
onto my shores.
