I have to give credit to Matthew Wettergreen (@organprinter) for sharing this one. Being alone is something I usually take for granted and learning to embrace my alone time is something I definitely should work on.
I think the problem is sometimes we get overwhelmed with the stillness or the thoughts about what we should be doing instead of enjoying our “alone-ness”. We get so antsy that we just need a distraction, something or someone else to channel our energy into, instead of ourselves.
Instead Tanya beautifully points out that without being alone we might not go on spontaneous adventures or have random talks with strangers on park benches. For it is in being comfortable alone that we find the inner happiness we all search for.
