I visited the puppies again today. The runt is definitely my favorite! I think I spent about 2 hours hanging with the pups, and scratching the mum’s neck… good times.
So terribly true…
It hurts to feel inadequate and unworthy of someone with all the right qualities, and I don’t pretend not to cry at nights knowing that the permanence of loneliness in my life is a big possibility. But the philosophy that has kept my sanity in check is that there is no point in being miserable about something that is not tangible in my life just yet…I see nothing much that can be done when you don’t even see what you want. If there’s another thing I’ve learned, it’s never to settle for anything less than what I need. The sad thing about life is that dreams are usually so cookie-cutter perfect, that people just settle for the closest things to them. They don’t believe in the existence and sheer possibilities of their own desires. Like me, they’re probably afraid to…But what does prepare a person for love and desire, pain and loss? Each of un runs from even the things we want, primarily because we are afraid to claim them as ours, of consequently being incapable of keeping them, and of realizing that we are inadequate for their needs and wants.
The mom with the puppies… she had 9, but one died during the night… :(
My friend’s Lab had puppies a couple nights ago!
it doesn’t sound like very much, but he always carried a handkerchief I’d given him

What is introversion? In its modern sense, the concept goes back to the 1920s and the psychologist Carl Jung. Today it is a mainstay of personality tests, including the widely used Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Introverts are not necessarily shy. Shy people are anxious or frightened or self-excoriating in social settings; introverts generally are not. Introverts are also not misanthropic, though some of us do go along with Sartre as far as to say “Hell is other people at breakfast.” Rather, introverts are people who find other people tiring. Extroverts are energized by people, and wilt or fade when alone. They often seem bored by themselves, in both senses of the expression. Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. In contrast, after an hour or two of being socially “on,” we introverts need to turn off and recharge. My own formula is roughly two hours alone for every hour of socializing. This isn’t antisocial. It isn’t a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: “I’m okay, you’re okay—in small doses.

Kellen is a classic extrovert, and I am a classic introvert. This? Dead on.

I come from a family of extroverts which is awful, because people tend to think we’re all stuck up.

This fits me…
