Being able to chat all day is a gift in many ways (connection with others, being an interesting person, etc) but it can be so gratifying to finally be alone and notice how the cacophony has died out.

🗻is so nice. i've had a few days to myself this week, and it's made me realize how much energy i absorb from the people around me and the noise it creates when trying to listen to my own needs.
more alone time from now on!

🧎after spending the whole day interacting with other people i really like to look forward to when i get off work and i can drive around or just sit in my car in the parking lot. i'll either watch a show on my phone or read a book or listen to music or literally sit in silence. especially helps if you live with roomates or otherwise don't have your own space. i find this is great for me bc i feel like a little hamster in my own isolated ball having my enrichment time which then makes me feel reenergized to be around others. its low energy too if you don't feel like going for a walk but still want to be outside getting fresh air.

🔋Started to notice I wasn't feeling like talking to people this evening after days of hanging out with people
There's still plenty of socializing I could be doing
But instead I'm inside drinking a soda and silently playing some video games.
Not for too long, but long enough to recharge my social battery.

I found this book today that I would love to read in tandem with my friend but we’re both so busy. Her birthday is coming up and she said she didn’t want any gifts but I decided I’m going to annotate this book and give it to her. It feels like I’m texting her while she’s asleep and I can’t wait for her to wake up and see all my messages. Granted, her birthday is in a week and it might take me a little longer to get through the book but it’s worth it!

Is there a better feeling than being perfectly balanced out by shorts and a sweatshirt?
