I’m as complicated as it gets. The people around me describe me as an extrovert but deep within me I feel really like an introvert. Don´t get me wrong, I’m not shy at all. My thoughts and feelings are mostly never reserved. I never did learn to hold back my opinions. I’m not easy to miss, I bring my presence in the room with me. I’m not talking about that introvert girl at the corner who doesn’t really want to attract any attention, no, not that kind of introversion.
The kind I’m talking about is for example the fact that I just stand out, I don’t fit in with a crowd (which I’ve learned to appreciate). I can never be in a clique or a group, it literally suffocates me and I feel like I’m losing my individualism. Making friends is easy, but what I find difficult is keeping them. Not because I don’t like having friends but because I love and treasure meaningful friendships that contribute to my growth and evolution. The older I get, the harder it is to meet people who I’m aligned to. I don´t like partying,(which is some step away from cool) well, I’d rather spend my Saturday evening reading a good book. I like intimate dinners with close friends, I love the outdoors and thoroughly enjoy hiking and mostly I love books, all sorts of books, there is nothing like escaping and losing myself in a book, total bliss!
I’m as emotional as it gets, I thank God for my patient man :-) , I’ve been known to break down and cry for the most absurd reasons, I get mad very easily but then again I snap out of it just as fast. I love deeply and protect everything that’s dear to me with a fierceness I myself cannot understand, I’m seriously mother lion!!!
I have all this unborn ideas, or half seen through ideas which my brain is always processing, but I find it difficult to give them life. I feel like I have so much to say but somehow the words get stuck, and I cannot channel them out but only until I pick up a paper and a pen. Writing truly helps keep me sane in this mostly insane world. My journal can attest to it, it is closer to me than a bestfriend (yes, I talk about it like it’s human) So, here I am ready to share some part of me and my passion with you world. It is exciting to not just journal for myself but let you guys have a little glimpse of my soul too.
Happy reading, hopefully you get moved, inspired or find yourself in my writing, if not, well, nothing lost :)
