To be alone

Why do people assume that to be alone is such a tragedy? Why have we associated not being in the presence of others to be so depressing? I think to be comfortable in being alone is amazing. I think being in solitary is amazing. Not because I hate being around people but because even when alone you're not alone. You are in the company of yourself. We have gotten so familiar with the idea that company is found in others but it can be found in you. Those moments where you sit down and talk to yourself or just think and imagine, where you get to learn more about yourself rather than just others. I feel the reason people struggle to describe themselves is because we've been conditioned to believe that to be with ourselves is to have no one else and to be uncomfortable, the idea of being alone has been heavily narrowed down into a negative experience instead of an important moment where you understand who you are. With an increase in technology people spend less and less time alone and bored. You cannot live if you are constantly surrounded by fast-paced, low energy dopamine rushes. That isn't living. Living is in the slow moments where you take the time to truly know yourself.

Remember that being alone isn't supposed to be sad. Anyways, self-question: What keeps you going through life?

For me, I live for the experiences life has to offer and for learning about the world. And also tea!!
