I’m declaring it in print (so…officially ;). This doesn’t mean that I’ll be here indefinitely, however, (I still adore my vagabond ways, which includes moving) but I am ready to accept living here, fully, for as long as feels appropriate. I’m guessing that this change in perspective, will help me connect w/ other people further.
Makes sense -> 1st I had to get comfy w/ myself, & now, I’m prepared to be comfortable interacting with other people.
I’m excited.
A big missing piece of my persona has re-emerged = socialness.
Before I was uncomfortable being around others (and particularly strangers). We had nothing in common that I knew of (of course I wasn’t aware of our similarities yet. We hadn’t interacted!) This un-comfortability, spawned awkwardness & I let it overtake me.
The difference between this newly developed shyness, and my past comfortability w/ other people, was very strange for me. I didn’t know what to do with this late-onset shyness.
I’m quite happy to be comfortable, here, now. It’s very freeing => less energy to be spent desiring a new habitat, more energy to be expended getting comfy in Seattle again and traveling to visit my friends around the globe.
