Or: The instant before the door was opened, it was still closed.

Introverts tend to be calm, reserved, thinkers and their brain is at rest when they spend time with a few chosen friends or alone, whence the confusion people have between introversion and timidity. They dream vividly and have a tendency to have overactive imaginations.…[Read more]
