I came across this quote one of these days… and it made me think what kind of person I am. I came to the conclusion that I could recognize myself in it. I don’t know if others will agree with me. As much as I like being around people, I can also enjoy some quiet time by myself. People who know me well might have sensed that. Time by or for myself gives me space in my head, it gives me time to recover from all impulses and information that I have took in. Time for myself can bring me peace and helps me balance out what I want or need. Maybe the cause for this need can be explained by the fact that I was an only child for almost 10 years before I got a sibling. On the other hand being around people brings me joy, makes me happy, offers me a way to speak out what is on my mind, have interesting discussions, but also to listen to others. Coming to think of it, I had to learn all of these things. As a child I did not speak out, I did not participate in discussions or dared to speak my truth. My surroundings, education, people around me I met along the way through the years, inspired me to develop these skills and maybe… there was this spark in me all the time that needed a fire to lit it on! Ah well, maybe I should not try to overthink this one and just be happy with who I became, right? I guess in the end it’s all about balance. Think about it, till next time!
