Let's explore the beauty of my personality preferences today, as this prompt demands.
I would say that I am fairly well balanced between being an indoor and outdoor person. But truth be told, I only choose to be indoors when I have reasons to do so; otherwise, I don't enjoy being indoors always but a combo of the two.
Life is all about balance, and I find joy and fulfillment exploring these two personalities of mine. As much as I have been an extrovert since childhood who finds outings quite adventurous, a lot of things make me want to be indoors most times. Sometimes, I find the need for deeper self-reflection and growth about life, and I stay indoors as long as I can to do the needful. Sometimes, I feel like unleashing the creativity in me, and I embrace enjoying the cozy environment in my home.
Sometimes, there's a need to relax and stay away from distractions out there. Other times I watch my favorite movies, read books based on my niche, create family time, and bond more with my people, exploring new ideas even in my kitchen. These activities and more call for me to choose to stay indoors, and I have been loving that.
However, I wouldn't deny that I am equally a lover of an open world. A lot of things happen outdoors, and I simply love social interactions. In fact, the same energy I socialize virtually is the same as I do in my physical world. I love meeting with people, sharing ideas, interacting, and learning from others. I love partying and attending events where I can engage in fun activities and be happy.
Sometimes, when I feel bored, I simply create an event that will take me out there, maybe for a nature embrace
...or maybe call a friend for an evening stroll at the mall.
I don't only engage in outdoor activities when I have plenty of money with me; a little money, enough to buy an ice cream, is enough to make me step out into my world, and it does make me happy, exploring the environment and relieving mental stress. I really find it strange hearing some persons say that they can stay indoors for months and they enjoy their personal space that way. Like what on earth will I be doing indoors for one week, not to talk of months, hahaha. That must be a different me, because as much as I stay indoors within the working days of the week, actively working, I must create time to take a stroll to somewhere around me within the weekend to explore my world, maybe play free games around, and be alright.
I believe that every little adventure I make brings a unique experience and creates nice memories. To me, outdoor settings inspire deeper conversations with people, and growing my social circles this way is inevitable. I have met someone at an event who later turned into a friend and brought unimaginable connections to me. Of course I may not have met such a being if I was in my room all day. My great-grandmother once told me to always dress nicely, go to events, and meet people, and while going, I shouldn't follow a narrow road but rather follow the main road wide enough for people to see me and admire me as a growing-up girl child who would need a husband, hahaha 😂. That was a funny statement, but truth be told, young girls staying indoors always—where will that man see you? Inside your bedroom? I guess you are playing, lolz.
Overall, we can all choose what makes us happy, but I feel that exploring the two personalities and seeking balance will definitely bring a sense of joy and fulfillment.
