Well, YaY
World Introvert Day !! until a few minutes ago, I did not realize you exist, but exclamation pointed on my calendar, from this moment on, you’ll forever be
! ! ! ! !
and to help understand this most treasured point of view, I offer a book
a poem
and a long ago conversation …
🙂 🙂 🙂
Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert ? she asked & at first, I thought she was kidding.
Isn’t it obvious ?
Or maybe she just needed to hear the straight-up, no holds barred, truth
& so
she inquired, again …
Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert ?
This time, I gave my answer without pause.
I’m an introvert.
FOR SURE.
& then I wondered, is there such a thing as an introverted introvert?
hmmm.
I’ll have to Google.
Extroverted daughter went on to explain, certain situations bring out the introvert in her
& as I recalled how she earphones in ears, hoodie on head, don’t even think about talking to me travels, I had to agree.
But me ?
Am I ever extroverted ?
Ever ?
hmmm.
I think a smidge of me wants to be, as my writer occasionally tries to bust out the !! LOOKIE HERE !! enthusiast. But, one of the super-duper qualities of being dubbed an introvert is the tendency to be preoccupied with one’s own thoughts.
Says Google.
I asked.
Preoccupied with thoughts.
Oh. Yeah.
Now, THAT’S me.
I could live in a world of preoccupied thoughts.
Sounds rather lovely, actually.
Far away from civilization, log cabin in a mountain
my musings, my notebook and me.
Yep.
That would be heavenly.
! ♥ ! ! !
Oh. Wait.
Wi-Fi.
I’d have to have Wi-Fi.
I’d want my words sent out to the fine people of the world
& I’d need a way to communicate with Family because that’s how we roll
& Google.
I adore Google.
So yeah.
Wi-Fi.
&
I guess I would want a little grocery store close by,
gotta have my PBJ’s.
& those friendly faces I need to see every now and again ?
Yeah.
Them too.
Oh & I can’t go very long without hugs
& a Chicago Bears game.
Uh huh.
Sooooooo
Maybe I need civilization after all.
See ?
There is an extrovert inside of me.
Yippee.
She just doesn’t come out all that much.
Hey.
Maybe my extrovert has introverted tendencies ?
An extroverted introverted introvert.
hmmm.
a tendency to be preoccupied with one’s own thoughts
Yeah.
I can do that.
Thanks for this beauty of a day, World Introvert.
Enjoy, I will.
