AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL THE WALLFLOWERS

Owing to the fact that we introverts do not easily talk about ourselves in front of a huge crowd, I’m writing this open letter for all those beautiful wallflowers who felt unwanted, unworthy and unnoticed once. But before that, let me share some unknown facts about myself which made me realize that I’m like you.

Since my childhood, I’ve always been surrounded by the number of people around me. Joint Family you see! A pampered kid (but definitely not a spoiled brat😛) whose wishes used to get fulfilled within a shortest span of time. Okay nostalgia is hitting me really hard right now!!!! But while growing up, I realised the value of my own self. I understood that no matter how protected you feel among your loved ones, you’ll have to step out from this inner circle and face reality. And for that, the foremost thing to do is to find your own identity. But during the process, I felt uneasy while expressing my emotions.

I used to have this fear of getting judged easily. “What if they don’t understand my thoughts? What if they feel I’m paranoid as I wasn’t really able to put my feelings into words. What if they get irritated?” Such assumptions used to haunt me like anything. But I was wrong. I was really wrong. Introverts can also be loved. You can also socialize in your own way without feeling awkward.

This might seem as a common thread to be discussed but I think timely reminders are really necessary to make you fall in love with yourself over and over again. So enjoy <3

Dear Introverts,

We probably haven’t talked before but I feel that I know you nonetheless.

I know that at times you felt differently than the other kids, teenagers, men or women.

I know that people have underestimated your strength and intelligence because of your quiet nature.

I know many of them might have misjudged you because you are not very vocal about your opinion.

I know that you have been cornered in a group of folks.

But I just want to let you know that YOU- just as you- are infinitely more than enough.

In fact, you’re a precious gift in quiet packaging.

Being a wallflower has no effect on how happy or successful you are as long as you see it in the right way. So never ever doubt your own existence.

You have the power to handle things in a mesmerized way. Your demeanor is silent yet loud..slow yet captivating.

One can never catch you losing your cool in public, even on your bad days.

Making purposeful connections involves building deep bonding, and it’s impossible to connect deeply with every single person. The notion is why you are reserved.

People crave comfort in their associations, and this is possible around you due to the gentle spirit which allows you to embrace patience with others.

Hence, trust your vulnerability because it is worth it!
