Life as an introvert has left me feeling drained. As much as I want to be different this is who I am. I fall in love quickly and deeply, so quite naturally I end up crushed. I want to give my all in my friendships, but often times am met with people frustrated with my personality that try to change me. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, so when I meet someone I click with and feel comfortable around I want to just be me.

The me that wants to love whole heartedly and believe in the good of the world. The me that cares deeply. The me that wants to make people smile. The me that pays attention to someone’s likes and dislikes.

The me that will sometimes retreat like a hermit crab when I am feeling in a melancholic state of mind. The me that just wants to be me. If you ever find yourself face to face with an introverted being, maybe even me, give them a chance.

Don’t try to change them, but instead, love them and embrace them for who they are. Beautifully introverted beings.
