It seems that a lot of my writing gets to this topic, mainly because it's something I ponder often. I consider myself be an ambivert, which is also known as someone with a personality that has elements of introvertive and extrovertive traits.

Basically, it means that I can be alone with my thoughts and I can be incredibly sociable as well. I prefer to think that since I think about things for a while, it leads to better decisions because I'm not drastically going to react unless it would seem sensible.

As a person who lives inside their mind, I have time to ponder different topics and I feel more comfortable in regular situations because I've had some time to just sit and think.

I tend to observe things and absorb things in a crazy where it can pop up at the most random time. It's unexpected, but it astounds people around me that I can make connections to such random things.

There was this one time when I was sitting outside with my brother and we were waiting for my dad so we could all go out to breakfast together. I was sitting on this old plastic picnic table and I saw these three washcloths hanging on the clothesline.

They were red, yellow, and blue. While most people would've only seen three rags, I connected it to the color scheme of The Police album "Synchronicity". I just saw those colors, and I saw beyond what was in front of me.

I wanted to bring that up to show how a lot of thoughts go through my mind, and how a weirdly creative thought can come out of it. That situation was just me observing my surroundings and making an observation from my own perspective.

Anyway, I find my combination of introvertive and extrovertive traits to be quite beneficial because they are crucial to who I am. While I'm alone, I tend to keep to myself, but don't be mistaken, there's always some thought going around up there!

When I'm with others, I find a weird balance of keeping to myself and feeling comfortable with others. I tend to be in rare form with my observations sometimes, and it always gets a good laugh. It's just another day in the life of an ambivert...
