Soak It All Up

    Introverts, wallflowers, shy people, whatever you want to call us (except stuck-up never ever call us stuck-up) we're the quiet people behind everyone trying extremely hard to blend into the background. We get a lot grief for it and we get the same questions, "Omg, do you like ever talk?" or "Why are you sooo quiet?" But the thing is not everyone wants to change, some people are very content with being alone and in the back. Yes, it comes with some obvious drawbacks, like the occasional "(in a meek voice)umm, I just said that...", and of course by "occasional" I mean in EVERY. SINGLE. CONVERSATION. you'll ever have. Or when you hold the door open for someone and they walk in without a single glance, (¬_¬) "jerk", and those extreme cases when someone actually has the COJONES to cut you in line. WHAT!? And then they say "oh I didn't see you..." or they don't even acknowledge you at all... again WHAT!?

Even with all those great things, there are still some "perks of being a wallflower" (pun intended) and yes I know its not grammatically correct but I had to make it work. But for real, there are some advantages to being "unseen". You see a group of people talking and their conversation sounds pretty interesting, I mean REALLY juicy, so you slowly side step until you're just in ear shot, and no ones the wiser; or avoiding being drug into a conversation you'd really rather not be involved in. One of the best things is that you get to learn life lessons, you learn things about people without having to deal with the heart break of discovering them after the fact. So lets wrap this up.

You never know what a persons reasons are for being the way they are, you never know their struggles, and trying to change them or "fix" them isn't going to make them a better person. If they want to change         (for themselves) it might be something that they've got to handle on their own, (its ok to ask for help).
It takes time to figure out who you are, and you may not get there for a long while, there's no specific time you have to find yourself by. "Where are you, you're late?" "I'm still looking for you, can you give me the directions again?"

“So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we'll never know most of them.”
