The Struggles of Being an Introvert in an Extroverted World
Being an introvert in an extroverted world is so draining. Sometime I wish I were an extrovert who, in lively gatherings, speaks openly and makes friends with people he has just met. To people, extroverts seem to find it easy to move through life, starting in public conversations in public places, getting themselves into spontaneous arguments or having fun with friends in crowded places. All this behaviour baffles me and is overwhelming.

i love meee
For the longest time, I thought happiness was something to be found outside of myself. I looked for it in relationships, in accomplishments, in the validation of others. I chased after it in material possessions, experiences, and even in the approval of society. But no matter how much I achieved or how many people I pleased, that deep sense of contentment seemed to slip through my fingers. It took me a long time to realize that the key to true happiness wasn’t out there – it was within me all along. And that key was self-love.

It's a good thing, ain't it?
You'd think that the brilliance of a sugar maple leaf in autumn would shatter all doubts about the quality of the season, right? Just look at this tree! I took this photo about seven years ago on my way home from work. I knew it was close to the end of the leaf-peeping season, so I purposefully took a route that would lead me past this particular beauty. I pulled into the weeds on the side of the road, climbed out of my 2004 Civic, and proceeded to snap some photographs with my ancient Samsung cell phone.

Pushed Out
NOTE: The following is a rant that swings between calm facts and intense emotions. Dear Boss, I know there’ve been several occasions when I’ve told you about my depression and anxiety issues and specifically how they affect me at work. I’ve particularly expressed the need to have office space away from the classroom where I can control the light and noise exposure to reduce the sensory input, which is why I’ve been so glad to have an office for the last several years. Your predecessor comprehended that and fiercely defended my right to keep an office. He had my back on that. You threw me under the bus and tossed me out of the office space.
