Apparently staying to yourself and not bothering people…bothers people

One thing people don’t understand about introverts is how much we love doing nothing. Staying home, enjoying our own company, getting lost in our thoughts, and having absolutely nowhere to be can genuinely be the perfect day

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now the news follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.

“If something is wrong, fix it. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing.”

- Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) was one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Born in Illinois, Hemingway served as an ambulance driver during World War I and later worked as a war correspondent. These experiences had a lasting influence on his writing.

Celebrated for his direct yet powerful style, Hemingway produced enduring classics such as The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. His writing frequently explored themes of courage, love, conflict, perseverance, and human dignity.

More than sixty years after his death, Hemingway remains a defining voice in literature. His work continues to inspire readers through its portrayal of true strength as the ability to endure hardship with honesty, resilience, and grace.

Highways were remaking America in the 1940s.
Gas (1940) shows a station at dusk—pavement fading into trees.
Modern life reaches the edge of the wilderness and hesitates. #artbots #hopper

Introverts don’t need constant company to feel complete.
We just need one quiet corner, one good book, and the freedom to disappear without anyone asking “where did you go?”
That’s not loneliness.
That’s peace.

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Introverts almost never get bored when they’re by themselves. They can spend hours reading, working on a project, listening to music, or just being in their own head. But put them in a room full of people, and somehow that’s when boredom shows up

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Introverts don’t need big plans to be happy. Just give them an empty house, snacks, their favorite playlist, and a blanket. They’ll spend the day avoiding people and half-starting five new hobbies. Pure peace

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Introverts are actually really fun once you get to know them (takes 3-4 years)

Gas pumps ask too many fucking questions nowadays. I just had to enter the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, the date I lost my virginity, and Shawon Dunston’s career batting just to get some unleaded. And, no, I don’t want to sign up for rewards or get a car wash either.

Sure, 4K is nice, but there was nothing like sitting two inches away from one of these sweet bastards while your mother predicted you’d be as blind as Ray Charles by the following Thursday.
