What would you do differently if you knew nobody was judging you? I know what I would do. I’d frolic everywhere I went, I’d never wear makeup, I’d more than likely sing out loud all the time (because I always have a song in my head) and I’d be much more carefree with being center…

Embarrassing Moments for 100, Alex!
I realized there are two types of people. Type 1: You remember your most embarrassing moments in great detail, and shudder at the recollection of it. Type 2: You can’t seem to think of an embarrassing moment, but when asked, mention a slightly awkward occurrence that is actually quite normal for anyone who interacts with…
Read more“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going…I just hope I find it along the way”.
Have you ever thought, “Wow, that person is so nice. I like their energy. I wish I knew how to approach them…” I can attest that, yes, I have thought this a few times recently. I’d be at the gym or out for a walk, there’s a vibe or energy exuding from this person you…
Read more“One sec. Let me get my thoughts together…”
Let’s all roll a tire, shall we? Introverts are naturally more independent and often radiate while working on solo projects. Shocking, right?

Read moreRegimented or Spontaneous? Both, please.
When are you happiest? Alone? With people? A happy blend of both? Do you enjoy a life of spontaneity and freedom from routine? Or do you find you draw towards regimented days and obligations to center you? I realized I sometimes find myself longing for what I don’t have. If I’m constantly on the run,…

Do you ever feel like your introvert self is melting away? As if the world is holding up a fierce circle of overbearing, burning candles that surround you? You keep blowing at the fire, trying to get relief from at least one of the candles, but the flame won’t wane? I go through phases where…

As you may have guessed, I’m an introvert. Don’t hide your astonishment folks! Not all introverts are the same though. No, no boxes for us. We all are our own person and come in various shapes, sounds and colors. We’re mysterious like that. It’s like that colossal box of crayons your teacher had in the…
Read moreDo not disturb.
If I’m blessed enough to get a lunch break (some days I’m too busy to even leave my desk), I normally take my lunch break in my car. What? That’s weird? I have this totally normal habit of sitting in my car with the seat perfectly reclined, the car that I’ve oh so carefully chosen to…
