Introvert/Extrovert/somewhere in the middle...
On the one hand you have this amazing ability to wander through your own brain and create worlds. Be entirely happy with your own company for days, go hours without speaking a single word to another human being (just picture me rolling my eyes, that never happens, I'm a wife and mum, there's no such thing as silence).
On the flip side, there is days where I just don't want to go outside. I don't want to be where there's people. And I definitely don't want to chat with anyone. I want to hide from the world and knit socks, or bake bread.
It's sometimes a real effort to get in the car and do the grocery shopping. But it won't do itself, will it. So as much as I dislike being an introvert some days, other days I love it. It has helped me create words and worlds and be brave enough to write my novels. It has helped me understand who I am and where I want to go.
The funny thing about being an introvert is on those days where I have to brave the outside world, you would never know that I am. I think that's where I get caught somewhere between introvert & extrovert. Because as much as I have trouble leaving the house some days, I don't want my daughter to learn it from me. So I push my feelings for the outside world away and be the happy, busy, outgoing mum that I am.
