Why Introverts Need Quiet to Thrive (and Why It’s Totally a Superpower)

-

So, as an introvert, the world honestly feels like it’s constantly on fast-forward, with way too much noise and way too many people trying to talk to me all at once. Like, can we just slow down for a second? 🤯 This quote—"Introverts just need their world quieter and less crowded"—hit me right in the feels because, yeah, same. It perfectly sums up what it means to recharge and function like a normal human without feeling like my social battery is permanently dead. 🔋💤

Being an introvert isn’t about hating people (seriously, I don’t hate people... most of the time 🙃). It’s more about trying to find some sort of balance so I don’t completely short-circuit. Crowds and chaos? Not my thing. At all. They’re energy vampires 🧛🏾‍♀️, and before I know it, I’m desperate for some alone time to just think and exist without anyone trying to interact with me. Quiet spaces are like magic ✨—they let me breathe, focus, and maybe even find a little creativity without all the noise of the outside world.

That said, the world doesn’t really do introverts many favors. It’s noisy, crowded, and expects you to just be social all the time. Honestly, it’s exhausting. 😩 But it’s fine (mostly) because introverts are good at finding other ways to shine. 🌟 We’re great at meaningful conversations, finding beauty in calm moments 🌸, and reflecting in ways that loud extroverts will never understand (sorry, extroverts, but it’s true). 🙃

So, fellow introverts, I say: embrace your need for quiet. Seriously, lean into it. It’s not a flaw—it’s basically a superpower 🦸🏾‍♂️🦸🏾‍♀️ in this chaotic world. Whether you love curling up in a reading nook 📚, sneaking in a peaceful walk 🚶🏾‍♀️, or just hiding away with noise-canceling headphones 🎧 (highly recommend), take the time to create your quiet little bubble.

And hey, what are your go-to tricks for making life quieter and less crowded? 🤔 I’m asking because, honestly, I could probably use a few more ideas myself. Let’s awkwardly bond over our introvert powers. 🥴💪🏾

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
