Just human
I was at a graduation lunch party today. It was great. Good food and nice people, some that I hadn't seen in a long time.
When I got the invitation, I immediately made sure to book tickets for the movies the same day. Not because I expected the party to be boring, but because I wanted an excuse to leave early.
That's what I always do, no matter how exciting something sounds. 2-3 hours, that's the limit. After that, it's like I shut down, unable to take anything more in.
It's not like I get restless, on the contrary. I get drained, exhausted mentally. There are so many impressions — old and new faces, stories and questions, tastes and sounds.
Everything happening everywhere at the same time.
No empty space.
Like reading a long text without a single period. Like constantly breathing out without a chance to breathe in.
I don't really see it as a bad thing. Not a good thing either. It's just the way I am.
It's also something I try to remind myself of when I meet someone who is totally the opposite. It's the way they are.
No right or wrong, just human.
