the beginning

It's been years since I've wanted to start and maintain a blog. The hardest part is the beginning, but my perfectionist ways probably get in the way of me just jumping right into tasks. It's not that I want things to be exactly right since that isn't even possible. I am not sure. As much as I enjoy self-discovery, I find that I still have a long way to go.

Writing is one of my top three passions but regrettably don't do it enough. The least I can say about myself is that I'm an introvert, someone who turns inward a lot to reflect and explore the rich world that's in my mind. It is absolutely necessary for us introverts to get time alone to do this, otherwise it affects our mood, energy, concentration, work, etc. There are many misconceptions, one popular one being that we are probably just shy or have low self-confidence. Both introverts and extroverts can be shy or have low self-confidence. It has little to do with the need for alone time to 'recharge'. I'll get more into introversion and high sensitivity over the course of my writing.
