“If you need space you should be an astronaut”, said a pompous lover who wouldn’t know about a life beyond hovering.
Having your own space
It’s important to love your space, having your own space defines that you’re happy in your alone. I’d like to quote, “Very few people understand the happiness behind “Me Time”
When you feel confined in a loaded crowd, there is always an opinion to space yourself rather than leaving yourself stranded, but do not get stuck in the limbo. Remember, you’re working on managing your space to fill in the fiendish void, which is keeping you spaced out from the world at large.
Spacing-out doesn’t mean you’re a private person
Privacy must rank elite, it’s the time you get to be you. Spacing out doesn’t mean you’re a private person, it solely means, your privacy tops the shelves.
There are days when you don’t want people to know about where you’re, who you with and in avoiding some Ws, you chose to space out for good.
Space doesn’t mean avoiding people who love you and people who you love
There is another pointer which you mustn’t miss out on, never avoid your love for people but avoid toxic people who pretend to love you.
People who pretend to love you will never understand your spacing out, and people who love you would let go even if you space out for a while.
In my own experience, I space out every once in a while, and me spacing out doesn’t mean I am running away from the dramatic frenzies that tags along, I walk away so that I can breathe easy and knowing that soon I’d be back to same old mundane routine with a stronger gut.
Coping with depression is not spacing out
There are people who needs to cope with depression, and they find themselves drifting away from the people they care about.
When you’re fighting depression, you always trying to catch the drift so that you don’t stand stranded and in my opinion, it doesn’t come easy.
My experience with depression made me realise that it’s alright to be an audience than be a puppet to life. For a long time, I’ve been the audience who smiled to see others smile. A sacrifice that I made wasn’t even recognised by the people who I loved and it hurt me bad.
So, it’s alright if you space out when you’re fighting depression, it won’t be your best suit but it will make you stronger than ever.
Spacing out isn’t toxic, it’s a prescription to a diagnosed disease
“Catching that drift didn’t come easy, I stood dejected for every time I rushed in like a crazy.”
I space out when I don’t understand others’ intentions. Sometimes, it forces me to believe that people aren’t very easy in their head, my simplicity doesn’t define their simplicity so it’s better to space out than live with toxic people.
Spacing out can never get toxic, unless you want it to, if you’re scheming in your seclusion it’s not spacing out.
Spacing out doesn’t mean you have to stay aloof of life, it doesn’t mean you don’t talk to people and it also doesn’t mean that you’re right while you spaced out. It simply means you walked away, from situations, from people and at times, it might brand you different than others but it will let you breathe easy.
So, I’d say space-out when you’re not fine because it’s alright to say No to a crowd who doesn’t appreciate you as you.
