Dear Extrovert

dear extrovert

Dear Extrovert,
I know how I must look to you turned in and tightly closed like a bud. You look at my folded arms and think that my heart is likewise closed and inaccessible. You see me furrowing my brows and believe that I do not see truth and beauty like those of you who go around with wide eyes and wider smiles.
When I say no, you imagine that I don’t know how to enjoy life. You shake your head and tell me that I need to learn how to live.
With all due respect Mr. Extrovert, I must tell you that you are mistaken.
I close the door so that I can open my mind. I fold my arms so that you don’t tear my tender, warm, and passionately beating heart straight from my chest. I say no to many things – not because I don’t know how to live – but because I’ve discovered a fountain of life that I need to get back to lest it dry up while I’m away.
So, please, don’t look at me with pity. filled eyes. Don’t tell me I need to “open up’, or, ‘loosen up’, or be more like you. And please stop comparing your insides with my outside.
There is a lot more to me than what you see. Can you say the same for yourself?

Warm Regards,

Introvert/ Dreamer/Wanderer

World Introvert Day

World Introvert Day

World Introvert Day

This is a day for the dreamers. The thinkers. The quiet ones. The ones sitting in the back of the room or standing at the edges. The ones who know more than they show and feel more than they let on. Today we celebrate introverts.
