Ambivert: Understanding Someone Who Resides In The Middle Of Everything

Here is something you need to understand about me. I am the most complicated easy going individual you will ever meet.

Some days, nothing will soothe my mind until I am surrounded by people. It doesn't have to be people I know...just people. Being around others takes away the need I feel to think through every aspect in every part of my life. It helps me feel at ease. But some days, I can't handle anything

.

I need to sit in a dark room and listen to the sound of my heart and just breathe. I will shut my phone off and shut the world out with it. In these times sometimes it doesn't feel like me and that's just how it has to be.

I have this unreal sense of adventure and discovery that will never be settled. Sometimes that discovery has to happen within myself and sometimes it has to be discovering new people. I need someone who can recognize this and accept it.

I am not trying to ignore you specifically and I will not always be that clingy. I have some desires I don't even understand so I don't expect you to get it either. All I ask is that you handle me with patience and a gentle hand.

When I get filled with the giggles and happiness attacks me with the force of of a million lions, I need you to laugh with me and spin me around the room while I stare at you and every reason you light up my life.

When I seem withdrawn and nothing seems to get through to me please understand I do not love you any less. I am so far into my own head that it's just too scary of a place to drag anyone else into. When this happens please be content with a mindless hug or a distance that will never be permanent. I may disappear for days but know that I am missing every second I am not sharing my air with you.

This is something I have to do for me to keep my sanity. I need to look out for myself sometimes.If i don't escape either physically or mentally it may begin to happen on it's own and that's a thought so terrifying I shutter.

I am flawed and I am confusing but there is nothing on this earth that will change the way I am. I do not need to fixing, I need acceptance. To have someone look me in the eyes and smile at me with true understanding and approval would be the end of my hunt for happiness. I would have to stop looking because it would only exist in you.

I do not need another but I crave it. I am a complete puzzle all on my own only searching for the glue to hold the pieces together permanently. Until that day I will work on myself and find who I am meant to be so that when you do enter my life, I can offer my all in return for yours.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
