I am an introvert

As an introvert, I thrive on solitude. 

And while, like most introverts, I do have the ability to wind myself up and function amongst a group, I have to work at it, and it's exhausting.

Give me time alone, out in nature, with my camera, and I'm in my happy place.

In those moments, the mayhem and noise of the world drops away, and I become deeply connected to the beauty and wonder of nature all around me. My body and mind are revived, and I'm able to return to my everyday life with a clear head, a smile on my face, and balance in my soul. 

Note to self - you're a better version of yourself when you're true to your nature, and take good care of yourself.
