H A U S de R O U X

It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.

One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.

‘Ambivert’ I’m both: introvert and extrovert . I like people, but I need to be alone. I’ll go out, vibe and meet new people but it has an expiration because I have to recharge. If I don’t find the valuable alone time I need to recharge I cannot be my highest self.

if you’re lucky enough to find someone faithful, supportive, honest and makes an effort to make you smile. never take that person for granted. a love like that is rare!
