So, If You Are Too Tired To Speak, Sit Next To Me Because I, Too, Am Fluent In Silence. -R. Arnold

💘

Have always thought about this ever since i heard and related to the term “introvert” its nice to read and see others opinions that make me feel so reassured. Hope this energy and wisdom continues spreading as time goes on

You think you're an introvert because you like being alone, but maybe it's not about solitude. Maybe it's about peace. Maybe it's the quiet you've fought so hard to protect. Maybe it's the safety of your own company, after being around too many people who made you feel like too much or not enough. You smile differently around people who bring you calm. You speak more. You laugh louder. You come alive in rooms where your soul doesn't shrink. You're not afraid of connection. You're just tired of surviving it. So don't confuse your boundaries with isolation. Don't confuse your quiet with disinterest. You're not closed off. You're just waiting for someone who feels like home, not a battlefield.

P.D. Mood boards aren't back, but I've got some queued because I was stressed and needed a release...

I wasn't meant for casual love. Your heartbeat will be my favorite song, your eyes my favorite color, your words my favorite poem, and even your imperfections will be my favorite piece of art.

“Solitude and its silence, was the song that taught me to stand in the storms that others fled, so that I could dance in the rain they only longed for.”

Sometimes i think i’m interesting then i’m reminded by nature’s existence long before i even learned to walk

These Acer palmatum (Japanese maple) are probably over a 100 years old and have beautiful shaped branches. These are a small deciduous tree with deeply 5 to 7-lobed leaves which usually have dramatic autumn colour. They grow best in a moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.
