I am this introvert, born to take in only so much of your output at a time
I was never born to thrive on all that you crave
Why is it crucial to share the fast pace now in vogue, just so our wavelengths are the same?
What if this attention-span is all I can give?
Why do six-billion human beings all have to be “hip” “trendy” and “cool”?
Why do six-billion have to learn and teach at the same speed?
I am sure someone somewhere also must think what I think, feel what I feel
I am sure someone somewhere must be tired of this rushed ride
I enjoy the sun out on my own, whether or not I miss today’s hype
Spending all day just to mouse-click and to type would be a shame
I was born to walk out in the fresh-air of the planet Earth and breathe deep
Born to take in only so much of your output at a time


I love this and am right there with you! Perhaps I am only mildly neurotypical? Thank you! Elaine Hall “coachE”
@Elaine Hey, there’s probably a little neurotypical in all of us #smilesandhugs
Love this column — love the others – but this one ….
i often feel sick, poisoned, abused when I walk by a newstand — the headlines, the pics of celebrities, words like weight, diet, money, thin, success — aaahhhhh
thank you !!!!
@Marla Yeah, I get pretty tired of all the focus on “weight, diet, money, thin, success” etc myself. Good to see you, Marla, thanks for stopping by #smilesandhugs
