The Thing About Being Introverted Is
This is a little rant about how introverts are always encouraged to be come out of their natural state rather than them being appreciated for their individuality. Growing up I was always told to put myself forward and not to be shy as if that was all I was đ
The thing about being introverted is,
People assume that means:
moody,
shy,
lonely,
quiet
or maybe even reserved.
People assume that because you're calm and collected, that they can:
use,
consume,
pick you up and drop you,
then expect you not to utter a word.
The thing about being introverted is:
people assume that because you're not centre stage,
you don't want to shine or grind for that same limelight,
as though only extroverted people are entitled to that slice of the pie!
The thing about being introverted is,
soft spoken voices,
often speak to personal choices.
And just because I may not be the loudest,
I may not be the most recognised.
Doesn't mean: my worth,
my voice,
my power are not a noble prize.
The thing about being introverted is,
People insist you come out your shell,
as if this version of you is currently living in hell,l!
Always looking to change, mould or assist you into becoming this other variation without even proper consideration;
or sleep on you because they can't imagine that version of you,
they have yet to see in person!
The thing about being introverted is,
People see you as this cry for help,
failing,
to truly see,
the real you!

YOUR LIFE!!!!
PLEASE STOP TAKING YOUR LIFE! It will change as you grow and YOU WILL CHANGE what you know We NEVER stay the same. we are ALWAYS changing and liberating, and learning, and discerning, who WE CHOOSE to take up our space. YOU decide who's showing you grace. YOU decide whose love is true and whether their connection is elevating YOU. DO NOT SETTLE no matter what you were told. DON'T let self-doubt make your mind unfold. YOU HAVE THE POWER to heal and BE BOLD. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH. Follow YOUR OWN PATH and BE YOUR OWN PROOF, that life is worth living NO MATTER HOW HARD, so give it all you got and let down your guard. I know the mental tries hard to take over but know that YOU HAVE MEANING and every day you get a do-over. And when you feel in that dark place, just be still and HOLD THAT SPACE. It's okay to not be okay, but that doesn't mean you should go away. That doesn't mean you should give up, RIDE IT OUT and see what's up. LIFE IS A JOURNEY, each stage is a gift, KEEP MOVING FORWARD thru all the rifts. SHINE YOUR OWN LIGHT and

The Devil's Cut
âComrade, finally youâre awake.â The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
