Torn

These days, part of me wants to be surrounded by people--talk, affection, warmth, good humor, intellectual discussions, even the odd bit of melodrama as long as it's not too obstreperous. Another part of me wants to curl up inside myself, erect a stone wall around me with prettily calligraphed signs clearly telling everyone to stay away. At this moment, the introverted part is the clear winner. Talk to y'all later.
