“
On that day, you taught me that solitude is painful! I understand that so well right now. I have family, and I have friends but if you’re gone… To me… It will be the same as being alone.

There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't because I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. — Debora Cahn

Have you ever been alone?
Yes, alone. Not lonely.
When no one is around you,
No one to bother you.
It is just you,
Only you.
When your mind speaks the loudest,
Your sorrows come afloat.
You feel drifted between the blueness,
But you don't want a lifeline.
It is just you,
Only you.
You're happy to be unaccompanied.
You don't have to pretend.
You don't have to fake a smile,
There's no need to try so hard.
It is just you,
Only you.
You don't have to worry about being judged,
There's no one else's mind but your own.
But then, you want to stop.
You've gone too deep.
You're drowning in your own thoughts.
You still depend on others,
But for a moment, you want to be alone, not lonely.
It is just you,
Only you.
But then again,
Around other people, its impossible.
You then feel lonely, not alone.
And for once, you wish
It wasn't just you,
Only you.

When I was a kid,
10, 11, 12, 13, the thing I wanted most was a best friend. I wanted to be important to people; to have people that understood me. I wanted to be close to someone. And back then a thought would go through my head constantly: "There's never going to be a room someplace where there's a group of people sitting around, having fun, hanging out, where one of them goes: 'you know what would be great? We should call Will. Yeah that would be good.' That'll never happen. There's nothing interesting about me.

“
Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will figure out what inspires you, you will curate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity, and when you do meet the person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it, because you are sure of yourself. Wait for it. Please, I urge you to wait for it, to fight for it, to make an effort for it if you have already found it, because it is the most beautiful thing your heart will experience.
—Bianca Sparacino

Let me tell you this
If you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's
because they have tried to blend into the world before and people continue to disappoint them.

Loneliness is black coffee and late-night television; solitude is herb tea and soft music. Solitude, quality solitude, is an assertion of self-worth, because only in the stillness can we hear the truth of our own unique voices. --Pearl Cleage

Let the world in and sooner or later people will see the oceans pouring out of you. You'll walk down the street and someone will mistake you for the sky. You are beautiful because you let yourself feel, and that is a brave thing indeed. Treasure the company of being alone. Think of solitude as another friend for you to hold hands with in the dark. You have clipped wings and scars from when people told you that you were too young and too human and too weak to try to scale the troposphere with your eyes closed, but you were born from the earth and you were born from a wave of your mother's love and you will end up in a horizon somewhere between the two.

December 30, 2014 6:55pm UTC

Avoiding human interaction
when I don't get paid for it
No smile in pictures
when I take them of myself
Staying inside all day
because I find no sensation
I grew accostumed to the doom
of someone slowly fading
away in their room
It's sad, for you, it's a waste
you probably never tried
to dwell in your own place
question what you've been taught
accept nothing that's free
never participate in the lottery
why would anyone give you anything?
It is not the nature of men
Yes, the earth is beautiful
there's a lot to catch up on
watch me as I catch up on it
in cafes, book stores,
my whole day off
reading, writing
letting happen
avoiding my phone
Vibration Training:
there's no department of
Keeping Forever yet
so you learn to forget,
set to reset
train to get fat
You are destined to be gone
Coming and going is the same
that you can take nobody with you
is the only difference
Nobody, except the music in your head
the music stays
it is your only companion

Let me tell you this;
If you meet a loner,
No matter what they tell you,
It's not because they like solitude.
It's because they have tried to blend into the world before,
And people continue to disapoint them.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many,
Be sad, and you lose them all.

I find it
That I tend to hate myself more than I hate people
And
that say's a lot.

Solitude
I haven't decided if my room
Is more of a cell
Or a sanctuary
I guess each day
Will tell a different story

“
I finally figured out that I’m solitary by nature, but at the same time I know so many people; so many people think they own a piece of me. They shift and move under my skin, like a parade of memories that simply won’t go away. It doesn’t matter where I am, or how alone—I always have such a crowded head.
—Charles de Lint

The power to bring me out of solitude – or to push me back into it – had never belonged to another person. It was mine and only mine.

If you cannot find a friend who is good, wise, and loving, walk alone, like a king who has renounced his kingdom, or an elephant roaming at will in the forest. –Buddha
