the introvert and the extrovert within
I can love the social,
I can find purpose, fulfillment, joy,
in just being with others,
in facilitating connections,
in helping build community,
yet, within me, I’m enough of an introvert
that I get very tired after social intensity,
I also can feel bereft of purpose and anchor
as friends and family leave to go back to their regular lives,
I need then to go back to my introvert life for awhile
until the extrovert reasserts its needs again.
