I resonate with so much of this, especially the being alone part to gather my energy again! I also don't like being watched as I do something, I remember my arm wrapping around my paper as I drew anything so the nosey teachers couldn't see! ☺
Hi Gaynor - I relate! When I worked in sales and marketing in a design firm, I had to be extroverted to reach our goals and please the client. Now that I am on my own, I relish my alone time. I love to go out and be with people for inspiration and when it comes time to create, I need that alone time to process and interpret.
Hi Kathy! We give so much of our energy away when we are with other people, it's good that you recognise how your personal alone time is so beneficial to you.

Hi Alison! Recharging our energy is so important for our wellbeing and I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one hiding my work! :)
