The Occasional Other

I’m an introvert.

People may think I lack substance because I love to be alone.

But that’s not true.

Those deep and meaningful connections are what fills my heart.

I love solitude.

But the truth is

Substance is something I seek

And sometimes

I want to escape the world because it’s too noisy

There’s too much drama and chaos

And my soul crave calmness, silence , and simplicity

Depending on who I’m with

I can sometimes share this quiet space

I’m not boring.

I’m just listening.

I’m not shy.

I’m just observing.

I’m not rude

I’m just quiet

I’m just an introvert
