Hi everyone

I have just read Selena's Blackbird article on the "Are you an Introvert" newsletter and my eyes filled up with tears, I could almost picture the scene as though it were right in front of me.

I too, never noticed such things when on sugars, I was too busy locked into my own little world to notice anything else, but one thing I love now, is, we have a water feature in the City of Derby where I live in the East Midlands of the UK, it is a stone amphitheatre shape arc with steps that lead up the back so that you can stand on the top of it, and out of the top, comes the water, which flows in front of the arc with room to walk between the wall of the arc and the water. (I hope you can all visualise this.) I absolutely love to be in town and sit on a bench by it, and watch people with their dogs or small children (or teenagers even physically pick their friends up and run underneath the water, lol, my daughter has been carried under it on many occasions by her friends, and I even walked under the water myself when I was pregnant with her 17 years ago.) It's a huge Beta Endorphin raiser for me to see the animals and childrens reactions to the water, some love it, and some will only go so close to it. I can sit there for hours with a lovely calm smile on my face.

I always used to sit there even when I was on sugars but back then, I would have been in my own world, only seeing what was on the inside of me, and not what was going on around me. When I watch other people sat on the benches there, no one else appears to notice anyone exists. I am so glad I left that world.

Love

Jane
