I did all the travel, amazing list of things, worked in cool jobs in great countries. I just didnt want to give up believing I was the same person. But yesterday I relized because I resisted my life so much I was actually making myself miserable. I'm not in my mid-twenties running after my next adventure, I'm at home running after my lil son and that in itself is a new adventure. I am determined now to be here in this life, which is actaully really great when I think of it and thats what led me to your blog, which is great by the way. I just wanted to say, i'm exactly like the quote above, hate hosting parties and am an extreme introvert, actually borderline hermit. I think most of it because I want to be remebered for how great my life was, but I'm not dead, and now I have this life. Oh sorry for the long post.

I hate that I’m not boisterous and outgoing. I hate that I’m always lost in my thoughts. I hate that I’m sensitive and care too much. I hate that I have to get to know someone on a one-to-one basis before I can be truly comfortable with them. I hate that I don’t enjoy the spotlight. I hate that I don’t like throwing parties. I hate that I don’t extend myself to people because I naturally assume they don’t care to know me. I hate that I don’t know how to let myself shine." I could have written that! Especially the bit about assuming people don't want to know me. It's a tough thing to overcome when it's so much self-talk. I can force myself to do things, but feel like a fake while I am. I like this meme and I think I may do it. “I hate that I’m an introvert. I hate that I’m not boisterous and outgoing. I hate that I’m always lost in my thoughts.

But OTOH, some things really just are a part of us to the core—like me being an introvert—and we can only change how we feel about it. I think the important thing is not confusing acceptance with resignation.
