“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

As an only child, I love taking advantage of moments of solitude. That’s when I can grab my favorite mug and fill it with a delicious blend of herbal tea (with lots of honey and lemon slices, of course), put on some soothing tunes — I’ve been vibing to all of Cleo Sol’s music lately — light a scented candle and just relax. As a serial over-thinker, it’s really important for me to take the time to kill any outside noise and just be, and I’ve truly been valuing this space even more lately. :)
