{introverts}

I’ve often wondered why you stood out so much to me from everybody else. After all, they were just as skilled, knowledgeable, passionate and talented as you are.

constant communication.

I communicate with you constantly: if not out loud, then in my thoughts; if not in my thoughts, then in my imagination; if not in my imagination, then in my dreams.
