Food for thought.

Food for Thought: As an introvert, I need time to myself to recuperate from and reenergize for interacting with other people. But there are a handful of individuals whose company never grows old, people I call my kindred spirits.  They are the select few I always like being with and never tire of.  It occurred to me a few days ago that I don't tire of them because being with them gives me energy -- being with them is like being alone, in the best way.  Ninety-nine percent of the human population makes me want to hide in a closet after a certain amount of time, regardless of how much I might like any one of them as a person.  But the one percent who are my kindred spirits -- their company rejuvenates me the same way closet time does.  It used to make me feel a little crazy (I like being alone, so why do I like being with certain people as much or more than being alone?), but this realization comforts me.

Anyhoo.
