Unapologetically ME

I’ll just be honest. I am one quirky chick! Let me introduce myself, I’m Gwendolyn Jones, an introvert that loves people. My personal space is necessary for my survival. I’m an extremely loud individual, but I don’t like a lot of noise. I’m happiest in silence, or with a soft, slow instrumental playing in the background on low volume. I’m a thinker. I’m very literal and I probably won’t understand your jokes. I’m a seer and a doer, I’m filled with ideas and once my mind is made up, I’ll work at it until my vision becomes my reality. I’m always on the go, so when I have a moment to rest, I’d rather just be in my pj’s cuddled up with my family, pizza, ice cream, and a movie. I don’t need a lot to be happy, I’m not super materialistic. I value words of affirmation and time spent more than gifts. I do not enjoy long, awkward phone conversations, I prefer to text. I’m loyal, trustworthy and reliable. When you need me, trust and believe I’ll be right there, but, I’m not that friend that’s going to spend hours on the phone with you. I’ll always honor special days, I’ll hang out when I can, and I’ll check in every so often to ensure you’re ok. I thrive on being apart of something that’s bigger than me and working with a focused, productive team. I lose everything that’s not attached to me, so I always have a specific space for every item, I’m not happy when things are out of place. I’ve learned to be flexible but I prefer to plan and execute. I am the most independent, dependent person you’ll ever meet. I love wisdom and gravitate towards it, I treasure those blessed with it and will sit with them and glean as long as they’ll allow me to. I prefer writing over speaking and I’m pretty long-winded. I’m particular and very detail oriented. I’m a nerd and a bit of a workaholic. I used to intentionally isolate myself, because I told myself, “if people were to truly get to know me, they wouldn’t like me”, now I’m a firm believer that one can choose to love me or leave me. I used to be a people pleaser to avoid confrontation, now, I’m a firm believer that we both deserve happiness and peace. I simply communicate my standard and leave the decision up to the individual. I used to think I would never fit in, now I believe I was created to be set apart, I’m a puzzle piece that isn’t designed to fit every puzzle. It’s been a long journey, and this realization comes at a cost, but I’ve decided that all I can be is UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME!

Learn to love and accept you first, then you won’t have to work so hard to maintain the presence of others.
