Thoughts
I struggle to open up to people. I’m naturally fairly introverted, and generally happy that way, but when I when I do want to, all I have to do is look for people willing to share the load with me. I can’t forget that I do need that separation and solitude, though, and the right people will respect that. I can find these people through the things I am interested in and passionate about. It doesn’t matter if it’s a connection based on something frivolous. What matters is grounding myself in a tangible thing that someone else loves and engaging with them about it. Keeping designated times and spaces for this will help me keep a healthy balance, rather than letting it take over.
