The little that I have been here trying to have fun on the Playground, it really has struck me how much this area operates like a 'recess playground.' This is not a judgment call, merely a statement of observation. It merely is what it is.
For some, being able to connect and have fun in that environment comes easy; for some, not so much. For me, I am in the "no so much" category. Again, not a judgment, just is what it is. I know me.
Add to the equation that this is meant to be a 'fantasy' place, that could allow for me to be someone totally different. That might work for some, but again I know me. In a way, like comedy where the best laughs come from those lines that hold a bit of truth to them, fantasy for me operates the same way. In this case, I still have to be somewhat 'me'.
So what does all this equal too, and if you have stayed around this long to actually get to this point - here goes.
This is a little space I am carving out for "me" - people like me. Those that are introverted. This is a place for us to unite - but not too close, we need our space.
A place for us to write our ramblings.
A place for us to share our ideas.
A place for us to do nothing but sit and acknowledge our presence.
A place for us to share our art, our insights.
A place for us to listen to one another and anyone who else might stop by, just remember, we need our quiet time as well.
A place for us to post nothing at all.
A place for us to get away from all the noise and competition.
Welcome to our little place past the basketball court, around the big tree, through the playground equipment, near the edge of the playground.
Don't be surprised if I don't look up from my game of solitaire. I know you are there, just sometimes having someone sit there beside me is enough, even if no words are spoken.
