You may not understand when I tell you I can't hang out today and you pop in later at my place and find out that I am warmly tucked in my bed or couch...whichever I will deem appropriate then.That actually, what I meant by saying I have other engagement was simply to go and have me time. I meant,all I wanted was to be with self,perhaps a bowl of icecream if its hot or a chocolate with cream and to be precise a cherry on top. One cherry.That the reason I turned your invite down wasn't to attend another one as I made you believe but rather to spend time in my oasis of peace. my secret Lake or garden as Robin Sharma would put it.
Its not that I can't hang out,it just happens that after being in several social gatherings, I am utterly drained and I need a recharge.
Hanging in crowdy places is something I can afford for short duration after which I have to take care of self in my secret place of peace where am away from the screams in the world,and nothing can rob of my tranquillity unless I permit.
So about the other day, I am not a moody gal who is a weirdo who doesn't seem to flow with multitude.
It just happens that the things that excites and leaves me tingly,an ordinary extrovert won't find appealing. When you see me quiet and aloof,not participating in conversation, its not that I am shy. I just get intrigued by mature, deep and meaningful talk.When I come across such individuals who understand my dynamic, I can talk for ages.
I am just a girl next door whose life is different.
My daughter...It's the condition of your heart that matters to God; the question each and everyone of us should ask ourselves is "what is the condition of my heart?" God did and does not walk away from the place of worship because of lack of church etiquette or disorderly worship, He did so because of sin/wickedness. You are out of order if your heart is not right with God.

ReplyDeleteAdisa, I identify with what you are talking about. Introverts need me time a lot. They need to re-charge. One thing people don't realize when we are out there for functions and screaming like any other person is that we use too much energy that needs to be restored after the occasions. We only need some understanding. I get you sister.Tuck yourself in bed and just have your time.
ReplyDeleteI know gal...I found my solitude place and as such much able to balance now. My solitude place is my little haven for recharge and renewal
