This one is for everybody who enjoys their alone time, and loves spending a night in.
Seemingly alone, but never lonely.
And everybody who occasionally bursts out laughing because it’s hilarious to be inside your head, followed by a quiet thank you for no one being around to witness it.

Voices in my head are usually kept in line
On occasion they rebel, go off on their own
Caution to the wind and a glass full of wine
Another fun night spent seemingly alone.
Light is turned on and everyone’s home!

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.

Congratulations!🤩
Nicely put, and so relatable! The voices in my head are seldom well-behaved, lol!
Lovely poem. Nights in with yourself are the best. 🌷
Love how this poem brought a sense of ease. Thank you, Cristal, for writing it! I started my weekend with a chuckle 🤭

This is wonderful, Cristal! As an introvert I love a night in and definitely understand that alone does not equal lonely!!
Aha! Guess people were around to witness the inside-head voices 😅 Loved it, Cristal. Such a great pick to write the poem about 😂
Live well today and tomorrow and let them remain unknown
