i am no longer a teenager. i celebrated my 20th birthday a couple of days ago.

i've thought a lot on the subject of communication. at larger social gatherings, i tend to shy away to a smaller group of friends or to myself. there is great difficulty in maintaining a conversation for me.

i don't speak often, but when i do, i try to make it count for something.

it's quite interesting to me to view others' lives and note how they prioritize things differently from one another and more interestingly, myself.

communication is very useful in transferring knowledge or simply as a means of entertaining others. i rarely utilize it for the latter.

i have never been completely nor mostly content to stay inside by myself all the time like many other introverts, but instead became fascinated with people. i enjoy most of the interaction i take part in, but it does not come naturally.
