I Am Alone. I Am Not Lonely.

I’ve been alone for years, but I am never lonely. As a child, we depend on parents and loved ones to survive, but as we age, that focus changes. We begin to just push the people who care for us away to let bad taste into our lives. Eventually, we grow up and become the parents our children depend on, and the cycle repeats itself. At any stage of growth, we are not alone. People and life surrounds us. However, if we find that we are, no one ever taught us how to handle it. Turns out, there is nothing wrong with being alone. It does not mean you are an outcast, a misanthrope, or a hermit. To be alone is an acquired taste that is hard to let go of once you have accepted it’s differences. You will find a new genre of life in the world, a view like no other. To be alone adheres the joy no one knew existed. 


I have written about this multiple times, but every time, I seem to have a different approach. Some days having time alone will light up a galaxy of elation. Other days it could light the flame of loneliness. The trick is to always be in control of the torch.
