I had a meltdown this morning. I’m approaching the five-year anniversary of Tom’s death, and as usual this time of year, all the sadness is rising back to the surface. I can’t recall exactly what set me off, but suddenly I was sitting on the edge of my bed crying. Hard. And as soon as the first sob erupted, Millie, my terrier, was by my side, her warm, solid little body pressed up against me, her expression concerned as she tried to lick my tears away. Millie never lets me cry alone.

And although I tried and tried, I knew that nothing I could say could help him with that pain, just as nothing anyone said helped me with mine when I was in that unimaginably awful phase. I’m grateful not to be there anymore. No, that kind of pain is long gone. It has turned into something else.

Here’s Some Tips on How to Be Quiet and Reflective.’”Brilliant. And so right on. Introverts are constantly being schooled in how to be different from how we are. And to a degree, I’m OK with that.

Source: Twinsfisch /UnsplashWho needs people? We all do, to some extent—some times more than others. Staking out solitude is certainly among introverts’ most important self-care jobs. With self-reflection and trial and error, we all figure out how much social life is too much, how much is just enough, and how much is not enough—only the misanthropes among us will insist that no social life is just right.
