To The Simmering Introvert in Me

Constant internal monologues, writing for each mood, being called too intense, a deliberate attempt to avoid talking to some people, and a strong liking for abstract concepts.?

These are a few phrases I relate myself with.?

Yes, it is hard to believe that the vibrant personality you see on LinkedIn has a different side to her.?

I was an extrovert until my early 20s, my mid-twenties saw hints of ambiversion, and now in my late 20s, I feel comfortable with my books and laptop.?

This doesn’t mean I don’t like to talk or know more about people.?

I love that.?

My days are filled with endless calls from team members, client queries, friends discussing everything under the sun, and family members sharing happy memories.?

I feel immensely blessed to be surrounded by such awesome people who leave no chance to make me feel special.?

But, now, I have also started enjoying silence with my close ones.?

This no longer feels odd and there is a sense of comfort and calm.?

Exploring myself has become more interesting than a new hobby or a place.?

I no longer wish to be a chatterbox at all times.?

It seems odd when I think of instances when I would go all out and talk to people at weddings as a child, and till the function ended, I would remember everyone’s name and their USP too.?

Slowing down feels good after a long time, but simultaneously, I am expediting processes beautifully and garnering the desired results.?

Some of my favorite activities were long walks, gazing at the vast sky, soaking in books like there is no tomorrow, and sitting near the water tank thinking about life.?

The only difference is that they have become a part of my being, and I don’t regret it for a second.?

All I can say is that my exuberance reflects a lot better in this phase as it doesn’t stem from a place of being validated but from deep love and regard for self.?

I have moments where I feel I have decoded life, and nothing can match the feeling.?

All my friends going through this or a different kind of transition is about embracing yourself and taking small but consistent? actions.?

Everything will turn out just fine ????

Peace. Love. Prayers?
