The peace of mind that comes with introverted Lifestyle

in Hive Naija3 days ago

Most people know me now as an introvert but I was not always like this, some years ago I used to be an extrovert who hated to stay indoors.

I used to be a football lover and I could play football from morning till evening without getting tired, I missed that energy of mine.

As we grow older we lose that vibrant energy of our childhood days... This is why we can never compare our energy to the young ones and often we will be the ones to tell them it is enough when they start playing with us cos they never get tired.

If it was that time they asked me this question, there is nothing to think about cos I would always pick the outdoor lifestyle again and again, my going out was too much that it got to a certain point where my mother would come searching for me with a cane, but this doesn't stop me from doing it all over again.

The older we get, the wiser we become and the bigger our dreams, the less time we have to play.

The moment I became a dreamer and started wishing for big things, I became addicted to work which took away my outdoor lifestyle because there is no way to balance work and outdoor lifestyle, work took away outdoor fun and before I knew it I became an introvert.

I would admit that what also made this possible was that I changed environment, I have always had it in me, I mean the introverted lifestyle but the friends that surrounded me in my hometown made it impossible cos if they didn't see me outside, they would come to drag me at home and before I know it, I am back to that life I am trying to avoid again. So moving away from my parents' house to a strange land made it possible.

The indoor lifestyle has been the best for me, it comes with peace of mind, focus, and dedication towards your work and lastly, it saves money! Life outside is so expensive, if you want to party with the big boys, you have to be loaded, outdoor lifestyle? clubbing? going to places with friends? game centers? and others! all these cost money and can't be compared with staying indoors, all I need is my speaker/mp3, phones, laptop, electricity, food, and movies. I am having the fun of my life with all these provided.

I would admit I love some outdoor fun too, like going to the beach but that is only once in a while, and can't beat my indoor lifestyle... I can be indoors for a whole week without going out and the only thing that would make me go out is if I needed to buy something, especially food... I believe I will continue with this lifestyle once am done with schooling.

I think we all have certain points in our life where we've got to switch a bit to a different personality. I think that you may get to a certain point where you'll begin to crave being outdoors more. Just a new phase...

I also feel indoor lifestyle can give more stability in life. It may not be suitable of everyone but it's ok for me like you. I feel it allow me to know more about myself and find out my capability.

Once we become heavy on our dreams and goals, we tend to be more locked in the introverted lifestyle
That’s when we begin to enjoy our space more
