Hey there, beautiful ones. Solitude is a beautiful thing especially once it is no longer associated with loneliness. I take every opportunity I can to be alone. I’m not anti-social. On the contrary, I love to be around people, learning and growing and conversing. However, I know the necessity of solitude.
In my alone time, I can spend time with myself which is something I avoided for years. Where I used to fear the conversations in my mind, I now welcome them because I know I will always find out something new and useful about myself and my resolve. Being alone also allows me to be in my creativity without distractions from others.
I use my time in solitude for many things that all contribute to me being the highest version of myself. While I may like to be around people, I favor my alone time. Another reason I like alone time is because I tend to come across folks who have not started their healing journey so the conversations are difficult for them or me to understand at the place I am in my life now.
Navigating the Difference: Alone vs. Lonely
Regardless of that, I understand many people out there are afraid to be alone. They don’t understand there is a difference being to being alone and being lonely. If I’m being honest, I didn’t know the difference for a long time. I thought being alone meant I had no friends and no one to love me which was furthest from the truth. But we will tell ourselves anything to confirm whatever stories we’ve heard over the years.
Once I started telling myself that solitude was something I needed and not the result of being unlovable, things changed for me. Now, I thrive in solitude. Many of the blogs you read here were written in complete solitude where I had zero distraction from the outside world. This is mainly because I like to immerse myself in what I am writing to bring you my best advice.
So, my friends, take time in solitude. You will thank yourself for the quality time you get to spend with yourself. I believe in you. And remember, as always, I love you. 💙
