As an introvert she doesn’t mind being alone

As an aging mother she is terrified of it

I’m Nobody, Who Are You?

I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell! They'd advertise -- you know!

How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog!               -- Emily Dickinson (via quotishowl)

Introvert Poems #1

How could I explain everything When all of the words are mixed in my head. Gimme time to sort things out. Please be patient. This would take days. Or years. Or decades... I’ll beep ya when I’m ready.

Bonfire

Who do you want to be when you grow up, they used to ask

And now I know

I want to be the kind of person who - when you’re feeling alone at a party and want to run for the door - looks like a crackling bonfire, a place to take refuge, a welcome warmth, a gatherer of stories.

The introvert

It’s fine to read a page or two or whistle to a song but nothing’s quite comparable to my own quiet company.

I love to have a chat at lunch or dance the whole night long but I’m at peace in my thoughts, with my music on and hands round a warm cup of tea.
