I've discussed extroverts and introverts before. (Click here and here for a couple of posts about the differences.) And I just finished reading a book about the power of introverts in an extroverted world (well North America at the very least). And reading the book explained a few more things about me (I'm an introvert) but it made me grateful for extroverts. I need extroverts in my life to stretch me a little bit, to keep me engaged in life - otherwise I tend to hole up in a self-made cave with a good book or a good show. I need extroverts to show me that I can take risks, I can engage in belly laughing, I can assert myself when I know I have a good suggestion or idea. So while I am grateful for being an introvert (and I am glad to be one) I am also very grateful for extroverts, they provide me balance.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
