I TOOK A BREAK
Hello , Thanks to everyone who reached out to me in my moment of introspection, All is well (Over Well) with me, I took a break from social media, into a 150 days journey of self rediscovery, Getting to know one’s self is a beautiful never-ending discovery that will help us advance in every aspect of our life.
A pragmatic teacher (Rev oyiks Alfred )
whom i respect alot wrote a post on her instagram page saying "Success in life demands Moments of seperation" (The past months has just been special)
And as i went on this journey, i took out time to better understand myself.
And i discovered some interesting things about myself, i will like to share with you guys.
I am highly introverted.
I know you will doubt (yea i know ,Because am a media personel, so i should pass for an extrovert) but i am, thats why i have missed your weddings, birthday parties, Meetings , Appiontments and events.
I do not like crowd and gatherings especially ones with unfamiliar Faces.
(I know what you are thinking, "but we are familiar nau" i know, its still difficult when its not just you and me in my bedroom)
As a taurean, security is paramount to me in all aspect , couple with me being introverted, going to a place with such exposure feels like stepping into the zone of Vampires, i can faint.(its scary, i am never comfortable, Hahaha, Introverts can relate)
Its not very pleasant for me to meet new people and make friends, most times i do not even like to be talked to.
(Eyes rolling)
Because, i do not want to be rude, so i just disappear.
it sounds weird right? but thats how i am.(No i am not shy, incase you are thinking i am)
Every form of Social gathering irritiates and drain me.Even people who have lived with me know i get locked into myself from time to time.
l gain energy, and am more productive being alone. Solitude fuels me. I dislike talking on phone, i'll rather chat.
l will prefer to write than to speak.
(If i must step out of this zone it must be purposeful, Either i am impacting lives or my life is being impacted, Even at that i'll still need to conserve energy to make that move)
I value spiritual and deep things, so if what we are discussing does not look like the initially mentioned then i will pack my bag and be going.(Hahahhaha)
I am a very intentional person, i do not do things for fun, My life is just serious aff, Some people say am slow, others say am fragile. (i am just boring like that, But i am never bored as long i have my phone, Wifi, and food, i am good hahahaha)
So many people who have meet me, Have not been able to understand me, because of the contrast (Especially my online friends, ) Thats why i am taking my time to explain this.
(So you can stop wondering)
So many times i tried to be extroverted,
l just end up crashing (Mental disorder)
So i have taken a decision to stick to what works for me.
(I cannot come and kee myself)
During my study, i discovered the opposite is the case for extroverts (so lets learn to appreciate people for who they are, Lets not expect them to be us or try to change them)
Secondly , I have great interest in sociocultural Anthropology so i will be sharing about my discoveries and opinions about people and their culture on my personal page.(Occassionally though)
Please follow my Instagram page @queen.omaje
Lastly, The kind of messages i received eh (People worried about my abscence called in severally and dropped messages) made me realized how far and how well i have done for myself!
(Yes! Apreciate yourself, You deserve some accolades * in igwetupacs voice *Eyes rolling) and how much more i have to do.
(Because Am not on the cover of forbes yet and michelle Obama never called to check up on me, Hahahaha)
Jokes Apart, We all need to take out time to go on this journey.
Sometimes you have to stop the life you have to discover the one you really want.(Be brave enough to do that, it was not easy shutting down, but when some nasty things happen to you, i think its best to RETREAT and RESTRATEGIZE)
Clarity is priceless.
My year just began and i am going to make the best of it.
I am open to partnerships and collaborations.
Lets make the world a better place together.
Inbox me if you have ideas we can work on together.
I missed everyone.
