A book for Introverts... like me

It was 2016 when I discovered that I was an INFJ through the Meyers Briggs Assessment. 

I thought, ahhhh kaya pala! Kaya pala ko ganito. 

It's not a cliche but I often get remarks like:

Bakit antahimik mo?

Andito ka pala. 

Remarks that I find annoying because I often get it from noisy and attention-seeking individuals, lol. Well, that's rude of me to say that. 

Throughout the years, I am learning not to make comparisons between introverts and extroverts. It's hard because I honestly feel that most extroverts are overstimulating. 

The corporate world is built that way... engagement and events are crucial. Sometimes, I no longer feel the sincerity as everything feels forced. But, I'm in it so I guess I have no choice but to go with it and just learn to set boundaries. Boundaries. Word. Another hard one because many adults don't know this.

When I start to force myself to be sociable or outgoing or talkative simply because I fear I'd miss things out, I would feel drained afterwards. It's not how I function. And at times when I start to believe that not sharing and living a quiet lifestyle are unusual and boring, I turn to this book.

Being an introvert is fine. This book explains and takes you to the different layers of being one. It's okay and it's beautiful.

So, for introverts like me, I hope you find a book like this. Sometimes, a book can be your friend and/or voice that would say, "It's okay." 

Apron dresses, my way

As I imagine loungewears, I can't help but want to create apron dresses, and when they, by any chance, materialize, I want them to be denim, comfy, airy, and utilitarian with lots of useful pockets. 

Face Study 3

Made a face study this weekend, it's bigger than the last time. What do you think of those blush ons? 

I kind of like them. 😊

Flamingo Colors

Tried my new Staedtler Triplus "Flamingo" Pens. So far it was okay, it wasn't the tip that I was expecting but some colors are nice.

My first attempt in trying to draw a rose. I want to draw flowers, too.

My "Library" and Nook

Upon the arrival of my treadmill, I suddenly felt the drive to rearrange my spaces. And cleaning came next.

It was past 12 am and I was moving my things around. I hoped I didn't disturb anyone. I think I was making a lot of noise for 5 mins while I was pulling my sewing machine out the nook.

It was tiring but time flew by fast, when I checked the time, it was 2:20-ish am already.

So just to share, here's my workspace and "library" because my long table made this area look like one and I work here. The  nook where I used to put my sewing machine somehow looks like a treadmill room now. 😅
