Quiet by Choice

Hello. Hi. Hey. Hola.

Today, I would like to address the misconception of Quiet vs. Shy.

Am I the only one that doesn't like it when people call you shy? I mean, some people are shy, yes. That's okay! But I am not shy. Quiet sometimes. But not shy. There is a difference.

I dedicate this post to all those like me! haha

Let's consult the dictionary.....

The dictionaries definition of Shy is....
1. Bashful; retiring.
2. Easily frightened away. timid.
3. Suspicious; distrustful.
4. Reluctant; wary.

Yeah. See? I'm not shy.

Now, the dictionaries definition of Quiet......
- Restrained in speech, manner, etc.; saying little
- Free from disturbance or tumult; tranquil; peaceful: a quiet life. 

Hah! It all makes sense now, right?

Honestly, I don't mind being quiet. I like listening, I feel like you learn and gain SO much more when you don't talk as much. I feels much more connected to the earth, and myself when I don't talk as much. I like quiet.

The world is SO SO SO noisy!

But let's face it, I'm not shy, just quiet by choice. I'm a super crazy person. But I choose to be quiet sometimes. The world seems so much more peaceful when you're quiet.

Sometimes I am a little shy, but I'm usually not.

I'm done ranting now. :)

Have a beautiful day! Life is good. :)

love, Wesleigh
