"Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured."
- Susan Cain
I've been reading this really good book lately called "Quiet" by Susan Cain. Mystery novel? Intriguing work of fiction? Well...not quite.
It's actually a book about introverts. And yes, you can guess this book speaks to me primarily because for almost all my life, I've always felt a discomfort knowing that deep down inside, if given the choice, I'd rather stay home in my pajamas and fold laundry/hang with my dog/read a book than be at a function considered the Party of the Year.
And the biggest revelation I've discovered in this book? Choosing quiet laundry folding on a Friday night over the party-scene doesn't make you a freak of nature. Whew!
Everyone's got something valuable to contribute...both extroverts and the introverts. Even if only one group prefers a Friday of laundry-folding.
Happy Wednesday!
