Alone Time

I'm going to sound like a total jerk, but I was slightly disappointed when Sterling got off work early today. I love him, and I love spending time with him, but I can't help but feel a little sad my alone time will be cut short today! It's the alone time where you get to listen to your own thoughts, your inner dialogue, and get a lot done. Now that I am done sounding like a jerk, I'm off to have a fun weekend with Sterling. I'll have my alone time again on Monday. Have a good weekend my friends. If you find yourself alone, relish in it.

The Joys Of Being Alone

I am going to tell you a secret.
I love to be alone. 

 I am going to tell you another secret.
I don't have a best friend.


I have 3.
Me, myself, and I.

I've always been like that. Maybe I have trust issues. Maybe I've been hurt. Maybe I'm just weird. 

Maybe it's a combination of all 3, but I truly love my alone time.

Alone time is a necessity for me, and honestly.. it's good for everyone.

And I don't mean, me home alone sitting on facebook, watching a movie or reading. 

I mean, being alone. Doing my own thing, like painting, going on a walk, or cooking. 

Not speaking to anyone but me.

How else could I know myself this well?

How else could I know exactly what I want?

My mind is not clouded by perceptions of others. Or seeing other people, and wondering if I need to be like them.

The biggest thing blocking our joys, and creativity may be our lack of solitude.

Loneliness is the biggest risk of aloneness. But, you can be alone without being lonely.

The very idea of being alone may bring up deep childhood fears of abandonment and neglect.
And trust me, it took me a long time before I was okay with being alone. 

Sometimes, the only person you can really count on, is yourself.
And that's a good thing.
A thing to find joy in.

Someone will always have your back.

Someone will always love you.

There is always someone you can trust.

Meet your new best friend.

It's yourself. 

And of course, I will always cherish my friendship with my furry pals.

Try being alone with your pet for an extended period of time.
They stop being your pet.
You develop a special communication that goes beyond "sit, stay, lay down, come"
Almost a psychic connection... maybe an instinctive connection from our primitive times. 

I hope for nothing, and live with no expectations.
I am free.
