I OFFER YOU PEACE. I OFFER YOU LOVE. I OFFER YOU FRIENDSHIP. I SEE YOUR BEAUTY. I HEAR YOUR NEED. I FEEL YOUR FEELINGS. MY WISDOM FLOWS FROM THE HIGHEST SOURCE. I SALUTE THAT SOURCE IN YOU. LET US WORK TOGETHER FOR UNITY AND LOVE.

Writing update!

What’s this, you ask? Falling is writing again???

I know. I’m shocked, too.

Let me tell you about what I’m doing in May/June: Self imposed pseudo NaNoWrimo Challenge. 25,000 words each month, for a total of 50k at the end of June.

Truth: Pol Thylos has been lying about getting accepted to college. It’s not that he hasn’t gotten accepted; it’s that he isn’t sold on attending university. Why, when every college that has sent him an admittance letter has only wanted him because of his relation to the long dead, world renowned artist, Markos Thylos? Pol doesn’t want to go to college, find some pavilion to worship at, and settle, like his parents want him to. He wants adventure, and a road trip to Vasselle under the guise of touring campuses might just be his escape from it all. Along the way, who knows? He might just find his purpose in life.

Dare: The rules are simple-act as a mortal, outwit your siblings, and win the game. The rules would be simple, if Cesyl wasn’t already overwhelmed with responsibilities and expectations. With summer fast approaching, Cesyl is willing to give it whatever it takes to gain an upper hand on his siblings in order to win the annual game (even if it means cheating, lying … and hitchhiking).

I’ve been seeing a lot about these elusive beings called “Ambiverts” on the internet recently. “What the hell is an Ambivert?” you ask - well, Ambiverts are the alleged middle ground between Introverts and Extroverts. Ambiverts refuse to conform to the labels of “introvert” or “extrovert”, so they’ve created a rebellious third party. It’s the social equivalent of being Ambidextrous. 

A common misconception about Myers Briggs and amateur psychology in general is that one must fit into all the stereotypes of one label. Much like sexualities, for every personality trait there is a spectrum. By Ambivert logic, we should all be ambiverts - because extroverts sure as hell don’t always feel like partying 24/7 and Introverts don’t always want to be in their houses reading books and snuggling kittens. Not everyone is 100% an Introvert or 100% an Extrovert. 

Introversion and Extroversion have little to do with the activities you partake in, and a lot to do with how you gain your energy. For example, you’ll find many Introverts that are into the performing arts - an extremely social endeavor… But you’ll also find them in the break room after, cooling off. You may find an Extrovert in a similar situation, but instead of breaking they’ll go out and chat with the audience members until the gig ends. In this situation an “Ambivert” would be open to doing either of those things depending on their MOOD. You may find extroverts in the break room, and you may find Introverts blowing kisses into the crowd - it always goes both ways. 

So in conclusion, Ambiverts are, for the most part a myth. This is not to say that one cannot identify as an Ambivert – but I think this concept of Ambiverts offends the notion that there in fact, is a spectrum of Introversion and Extroversion. However, If you score 50% extroversion and 50% Introversion, okay, congratulations! You’re one of the few, the proud… the ambiverts.
