It is eternal bliss, in all its glory.
You are the ruler, you are the subject.
You fly high, into the rainbows.
All along you know, this is where you belong.

You

You are, but a trifling insignificance,
The world seems to be devoid of much sense.
But every piece of a puzzle has its part to play,
Every breath you take makes someones day.

I found a really interesting blog, sometime last week, about introverts and introversion: Spectatrix


And I can relate to a lot of things there. In this extrovert-friendly world introverts are often perceived as unfriendly, hostile, arrogant, shy, etc. This is ironical. We are taught to embrace differences between people because, well, people are different. But from an introverts perspective, this is downright unfair. Unlike extroverts who like to be in the middle of things most of the time, introverts like their time alone. Socialising is something they would not do, something they don't need to. The difference lies basically in the way we give and take energy. The more the people, the better for an extrovert. A lot of times I've been asked to speak a little more than i usually do, which is very little if I am not very close to that person. I have very little to tell someone whom I've known for just sometime. It takes a pretty long time to get to know someone well enough, to be sure that they understand me, and wouldn't mind me doing most of the listening. It helps sometimes, explaining to people who are really close to you about your needs. And they do understand.


But there's still a long way to go before people really understand such differences, which seem to be, from what I've read, because of the wiring in people's heads. Until then I'm just gonna think of people who don't understand me as people who are not capable of it. =D


Finally!!! It's taken so long for me to end up here! About the title - Magical Mytery Tour - I'm a huge fan of The Beatles . =)

Here's a sketch of Ringo Starr - The Beatles drummer. It's not something I sketched out of my imagination though.
