T.G.I. freakin' F.
MAN, what a week.
Sometimes I literally feel like this scene from Kindergarten Cop:
I don't know what it is.
Full Moon?
Kids being kids.
The constant low level chatter just gets to me...
I would love to do this.
Ha ha! Not really. That would get me fired. LOL.
I do love my kids, but as an introvert, the constant sound is just waaaaay overstimulating.
As I mentioned in my morning routine post, I need silence.
I THRIVE on it.
I was having this conversation with my wedding hair stylist last night (first hair trial -- woohoo! -- LOVE her!) and mentioned to her that I consider myself an introvert and when I am surrounded by people all day long I just need to escape into my quiet-ness and not talk to anyone. Not say anything. She could completely relate. And that made me feel good.
Being alone is how I refuel.
Which is quite the opposite from my fiance. Which is one of the many ways we compliment each other.
I used to feel bad about wanting that time. Like there was something wrong with me. Or that I was "shy". And thinking that that was bad in some way.
Like Susan Cain said:
"Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured."
And continues...
"Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to."
YES.
I just didn't understand that that is what I needed to refuel and connect back with myself.
And it's nice to know that some of my favorite actress's like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe felt the same way.
So, let's go introverts! Enjoy the silence! Enjoy being alone!
Today’s very early morning hamstring workout:
Do what makes you happy.
Especially in silence.
