Being Alone Makes Me Happy
Having company is overrated.
Being alone is the closest I’ll get to therapy.
I can process my thoughts without interruption.
I can enjoy a movie or show without chatter about which character is an imbecile and which character has a chance at surviving.
And I can sing along to my favorite songs while I pretend to host my very own tour.
It’s serene, and I don’t drain my energy by shedding it onto others’.
When I’m alone, I also don’t have to worry about altering my personality to feel accepted by whomever I may be with.
It’s amazing.
With this being said, I do want to clear up something.
When a person says they want to be alone, they want time for themselves.
They want time to sit with their emotions, their thoughts and enjoy hobbies that bring them happiness.
It’s not about not wanting to be around other people at all.
When I’m alone, I’m thriving. I enjoy my own company; I revel in it. Surrounding yourself with people all the time isn’t necessary.
I challenge you to take some time to yourself and see how you like it.
