A year ago, my partner questioned my introvert nature. He explained how I kept complaining about not seeing my friends enough —once a year or two at most— while not making any efforts to make new ones. I explained I found it difficult to connect without a topic. I did not want to chat about the weather, nor about daily life or work, but about something, anything, one topic to keep us going through the night. He suggested I joined a club, anything, he said, anything, as long as I got out. I had my eyes on the Bored To Death Bookclub here in Rotterdam for 10 years since their conception, since we arrived. It took me 10 years to join. I found a place to use my monthly social energy; around books, weird books, and lots of laughter. I keep saying this and I do not exaggerate, shamefully so, that I would not be who I am today without my partner, I would not be as brave. He is undeniably and cheesily my courage. #100words_100days #books #bookclub #courage Thank you for following my feed! ♥…
