I was usually quite the opposite and maybe even one of those legacy chasers as you may say, but I realized how many expectations that can create and how tiring that can be. Despite usually be extroverted, I found a lot of comfort in your words. I think there’s a balance of the two I’m chasing after. What would you call that?

I think we all have a bit of both, some extroversion mixed with introversion. If everyone were to choose only one aspect of themselves we’d have a black and white world, no shades. I believe it’s our multitudes that make us beautiful and I’d simply call that living, as it’s our personal experiences that give us our facets

I am delighted! So honestly written. Same as you, I appreciate this "invisibility"... to sit in the corner- quiet, observing, embracing my ordinariness. When I consciously experienced that for the first time, I felt such a surge of peace, harmony and freedom that I wondered at myself why I resisted it. The paradox of such an experience is truly impressive. Now it's becoming more and more important to me to feel comfortable with myself than to serve the vanity of the world.

And I'm thinking... maybe this is the secret of happiness- to be able to transform our pretensions of specialness into the humility of the heart, from which the deepest inner peace springs.✨️

Thank you for reading and for your kind words 😊 I truly believe this is the secret, though it's hard to achieve in this world. It comes natural to resist it, but once we experience it, it brings so much peace ✨
