World Introvert Day

"Quiet people have the loudest minds" (Stephen Hawking). Great to know there's a day for people who would rather be alone and be by themselves, preferring quiet and solitude. Introverts are energized by their aloneness and feels drained from too much of what's going on in the world, as well as endless social engagements.

The theme for 2025 is "Some peace and calm in a noisy world." This day was established in 2011 by Cristina Smith, a writer and self-identified introvert, as a reminder of the value that introverts bring to our society. She is now an award-winning extrovert author. It would be interesting to find out how she was able to move from being an introvert to an extrovert.

There are times when I want to be by myself, to focus more on my internal thoughts and feelings. 2025's theme resonates well with me right now, especially with what's going in the world today!
