There’s no place like my room

Such a nice piece! I was recently reflecting on solitude. It was feeling a little bit heavy lately, despite loving it. But every time it happens, I know I'm glad I get to be alone when I need it.

This is such a beautifully written piece and so so relatable. I feel free when I'm alone. That said, there have also been phases where I've been scared to be alone with my thoughts but there's comfort at the end of the tunnel, always. Thank you so much for sharing your words with us!

This was written SO eloquently, I could've easily taken a highlighter and marked over half the entry. Recognizing the difference in alone and being lonely is such a delicate matter. I also deeply relate with your way of reflecting on your internal nature in analyzing everything and then boom! All the emotion comes flooding in.

« The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. » George Eliot, Middlemarch

This resonated with me so much as a fellow introvert who enjoys her own solitude 🥰

Great writing. You describe loneliness and the pros and the cons of it. You can embrace it. I enjoy being alone in my room at times.
