It’s My Write
“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.” – Cyril Connolly
Introverts like myself often experiment with methods of connecting to others, avoiding small talk and gatherings as much as possible. On one hand, protecting our needed quiet time and recharging our batteries alone is sacrosanct for introverts. On the other hand, humans do have the need for connection. The need for others to know who we are.
And so I write. For myself. To share with others who I am and what I do. Me at my core. All the things I won’t get to tell you at the social events I avoid. All the things to know that are in my heart or on my mind.
Sometimes I journal. Other times, it is poetry, a short story, or an essay that will form this journey of words I take, like petals sprinkled on a trail as I pass. If you follow the word path, you’ll know me. That’s my write.
