I've reached a new level in my life where I don't like to feel too busy. When I was younger, I was go go go go go all the time. Now, I purposely decline invitations or find ways to get out of certain obligations just because I don't like that feeling of being too busy. I like to chill. I am much more a homebody with a penance for alone time.
I still love spending time with my friends, but I need a certain amount of recovery time after a weekend away (especially if I had to work all week). I need a lot of downtime for my brain to feel rested. Too much time engaging with people, makes me feel more exhausted. Some people thrive on togetherness and they feel refreshed after a weekend away with friends. Not me. I only feel refreshed if I've had several hours alone. Sometimes when I am alone, I don't listen to music or watch t.v. I like quieter things like reading, writing, or painting. Does that make me an introvert? I guess it does. I am getting more and more introverted every year.

That picture of you is fantastic! And beautiful! I need a balance of alone time and people. I used to be an introvert. I've turned into more of an extroverted introvert.
