An original song!
Hi friends! I had absolutely nothing to do today, and sitting around bored for hours was making me feel like a blob. So I decided to record one of my original songs and put it on YouTube. It’s about watching someone perform onstage and slowly falling in love with them. It’s rather introverty and I think it fits here. Let me know what you think, if you like it maybe I’ll do some more:) Best,…

A shelf of unread books
A shelf of unread books
When the Used Book Superstore opened up two miles down the road, I began buying books by the dozen. Books I’ve never heard of, in genres I’d never read before. Classics, like Gone With the Wind. Collections of Shakespeare and the full Sherlock Holmes. I don’t think I’ve read a single one of those books. When I began working at the Globe, my trainer told me that if you walk by the arts section,…

Pool
Last night was one of those nights that you know will become a good memory even while it’s happening. We were playing pool. Two close friends and two I barely knew. We were singing Queen, we were eating chips and pizza. The whole room was fuzzy, hazy, warm. It was late at night and dark, but I wasn’t feeling low energy yet. Though I had been “on” for so long, I didn’t want the night to end.…

Hello, handsome gentlemen! I’m a strong proponent of the idea that just because someone is introverted doesn’t mean they don’t like people. It just means that they enjoy and require some time alone, and being surrounded by people for too long can be tiring. Our personal style tells the world what kind of person we are. For an introvert who wants to feel good about how he looks but also might want…

Berlin, England: Conversation starters
I get compliments on my bag all the time, which is funny because it’s crap. I mean, I like how it looks too—that’s why I bought it. But it was $25 from a street vendor in New York City, made of fake leather that is already falling apart at just a year old. Its leather isn’t the only thing that’s cheaply made. As you can see from the photo, it’s a map of the world in nice earth tones and fancy…

It's about time I mention Susan Cain.
It’s about time I mention Susan Cain.
What’s an introvert blog without Susan Cain, anyway? Frankly I can’t believe I made it this far without talking about Cain or her book, or her super-popular TED Talk. Without going too much into detail, Cain is one of the most vocal introverts out there, dedicated to helping people understand the “power of introverts” in an extroverted world. She kind of opened the pathways to discovering the…

Power, resurrected
Voices collected, ambitions rejected Children subjected to hate, protected By parents connected, but they are neglected By those who correct them with chains. Unexpected revolting, cities injected With highline objective, now you’ve been selected, Infected, directed, suspected, ejected. They say, “unaffected.” Insane. This love, misdirected, is being reflected In friends disconnected, hate…

Introverts tend to learn by observation. I know that I sometimes watch people from afar like a stalker, and then copy how they do things rather than just asking them. It’s just easier to have someone to learn from, especially as a beginner. I guess it’s never obvious when the beginner is no longer a beginner anymore. I slowly weaned myself off the learner’s manual, and now—just months later—I’m…
