Knowing When to Stop

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for Sadje’s Sunday Poser – thank you, Sadje

I am an introvert and very much a loner, valuing my own space and privacy. Meeting people and socializing makes me feel rather uncomfortable, I won’t say embarrassed but certainly shy. I know how to put up the mask for people to see, I know how to hide behind that mask, so people don’t see the real me – and that is what I must do.

It isn’t ideal by any means, but my mental health is still shaky, so I have to protect me and protect myself from the invasive prying into my personal life. Even writing for this prompt I basically convince myself only Sadje will read it, but I know that might not be true – and I’m not wholly comfortable with that so will stop here.

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.

One thought on “Knowing When to Stop”

  1. Thanks for sharing Jezzie. I fully agree that protecting yourself in most important. At times we all wear masks to protect ourselves.
