I’m a stranger here myself
It is hard to describe to non-introverts how challenging it is to live in a world made for extroverts.
You feel like a stranger, an outsider and sometimes even like an alien, because you experience life differently.
Silence, solitude and stillness are three factors you value most in life.
I hope this little exhibition can show you what it feels like,
to experience life as an introvert not only in your home country, but also abroad.
And maybe, how one can find solace in a world not made for them.
In the silence
of my solitude,
I am an echo
from a distant star,
resonating with the unfamiliarity
of earthly vibrations.
Among the crowd,
I stand as an outlander,
an outsider,
a cosmic nomad lost in the
earthly maze.
My heart beats
to the rhythm
of a cosmic drum,
and sometimes I feel like
a lone star in
a galaxy of earthly pulsations.
Sometimes, I wonder
if I'm just
a traveler
passing through Earth,
a stranger in a strange land.
Yet, as the snowflakes
fall softly,
there's a recognition
that my introverted journey
resonates with the Finnish spirit
—a dance between solitude
and shared stillness.

this is really pretentious lmao I’m glad you left Finland
thank you so much for the productive and nice comment luigi – super glad you took your time to look through my blog entry i did over one year ago!
“I’m a Stranger Here Myself” feels really personal and easy to connect with right from the start. It’s not about being in a foreign country, but more about that quiet feeling of not quite fitting in, especially when you’re more introverted.
What I liked most is how honest and simple it feels. It doesn’t try too hard, but still makes you reflect on your own experiences. It’s the kind of piece that makes you pause for a moment and think, “yeah, I know that feeling.”
Overall, it’s short, genuine, and leaves a lasting impression. Thank you Laura!
Der Blog hebt sich vor allem durch seine Perspektive ab. Statt das Thema „Fremdsein“ klassisch zu behandeln, zeigt der Beitrag, dass dieses Gefühl auch ganz ohne Ortswechsel entstehen kann. Dadurch wirkt das Ganze irgendwie näher an der eigenen Realität.
Besonders interessant fand ich die Art der Darstellung. Es fühlt sich weniger wie eine typische Erklärung an, sondern eher wie ein persönlicher Einblick. Das macht den Beitrag angenehm zu lesen und gibt ihm etwas Authentisches. Was außerdem auffällt, ist die klare und ruhige Gestaltung, die gut zum Thema passt und nicht vom Inhalt ablenkt. Tolle Texte und tolle Bilder 🙂
