I’m considered the quiet type
because I don’t say much
from the onset
and my soft voice betrays me
I’m labelled the quiet type
because I’m mostly quiet
except I’m required to speak
or I’m passionate about a topic
I’m seen as the quiet type
because I love my peace
And sometimes I admit that I am
Othertimes, I correct people that I’m not
I’m considered a quiet person
but this perception changes
when the talkative in me emerges
and takes center stage.

❤️❤️❤️ good to know we have something in common.
How come I haven’t seen the talkative side of you? 🙄
Hi Aize, you know we only got to know each other better after I left Glo. With the way Glo was set up😆, it wasn’t easy to interact while at work and we were always in a hurry to go home after work LOL. Plus we still haven’t hung out together after all these years.
