Doesn't Take Much To Please Me

I had a good time with the three-cheese grilled cheese sandwich someone
recommended at a local cafe.

Dinner for one was a success when I finally tried a lunch plate I heard about from one of the other foreign teachers.

I realize my introverted little experience in life is funny. To me, relationships are at the center of everything meaningful that happens for us humanoids. Even so, I tend to spend a substantial amount of time by myself. I guess there's never any guarantee that a person's location and luck will give him the kind of friends that making hanging out together a bunch seem desirable.

For me, there's a lot of solitude but also the tremendous blessing of being okay with it. I can see how feelings like sadness and depression would weigh heavy if I didn't have the benefit of this contentment.

My mom loves telling the story of how I was always the kind of kid that could play outside all by myself. Guess some things never change.
