6 Reasons Why I Love Being An Introvert At Heart

Not having to depend on anyone outside of myself for comfort and happiness is probably my strongest asset.

In a world that never stops talking and never stops moving...isn't it nice to have the ability to shut yourself off from everything and enjoy your own company? I know a lot of people who can't do anything alone or be happy unless they're constantly in the spotlight. Sounds awful. I might have my outgoing moments, but my true happiness resides in my own peace and quiet.

1. I'm not great at small talk, but it's because I prefer to talk about meaningful topics.

I might not be the greatest at schmoozing and kissing ass, but I do know how to have very meaningful and deep conversations with those who are on my same wavelength. I convey my personality better in settings where I can speak my mind and show my intellectual side.

2. Being alone doesn't scare me. I enjoy my own company more than I enjoy the company of most people.

Unlike extroverts, I know how to recharge my own batteries without anyone's help or attention. Just spending some quiet time alone is enough to make me feel happy and relaxed. I eventually do get antsy and need to be social from time to time, but I pretty much always enjoy being in solitude.

3. If I like you, it actually means something.

Since I'm pretty content with just me, myself, and I, I don't necessarily strive to make a bunch of friends and make plans all the time. I couldn't care less about being the most popular person in the room or having a bunch of superficial relationships to keep up with. But if I do reach out to you and care about you, just know that you're a special and genuine person in my eyes.

4. I'm a good student because I don't have a hard time focusing and getting my work done on my own.

I thrive in independent settings and concentrate the best when I'm alone. That's why I have no problem putting my headphones on, putting my head down, and getting to work. I also don't mind sacrificing nights out to be studious.

5. Spending time alone allows me to self-reflect and work on myself often.

giphy.com

I do a lot of journaling, meditating, and reading when I'm spending time alone. All of these activities are best done in a quiet setting and have helped me become more self-aware. If you're constantly being bombarded by the energy of others and don't know how to listen to your inner voice, then how do you even know who you are?

6. I don't have to worry about social pressure like most people do, because I simply just don't care!

giphy.com

There comes a lot of pressure with feeling like you have to be friends with everyone, have to be the center of the attention, have to be constantly stimulated by other people, have to keep up with your "social status", etc. When you're content with yourself, you don't need outside validation to be happy. You can just be.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
