Today I am finally back with the Introversion podcast, although kind of putting this baby to rest... as I share my realization as to what this podcast IS... and ISN'T.

Now that I've been "going out" a lot more this past few weeks, it's dawning on me just how very super introverted I (still) am, despite having developed all my social skills and confidence and "I don't give a f*ck" attitude this past few years.

Although it may have worked for a time, I'm starting to realize that spreading my metaphorical water out across many many small cups may not be the best way for me to move forward *today*. Perhaps it's time to consolidate most or all of my water into one cup. Question is, what should that one cup be?
