Women who are alone, who live alone after a certain age, who aren't partnered, are pathetic. A lot of people are scared of being alone.
Not me, I crave for it and I love my own company.
I'm good at being alone, it's one of the things I like about myself. Aloneness is not only something I'm not uncomfortable with, it's something that I crave and needed on daily basis.
As I get older, all the crowds, hustle and bustle tend to drain my energy.
Although I like socializing and be with people around me, having someone to talk to, at the end of the day, I needed my alone time.
A time to be in my own thoughts, a time for me to recharge.
The other day my colleague was horrified when I told her I like to go for teatimes alone in the pastry or coffee shops.
I like to sit and read, people watch while accompanied by a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
I can eat alone in the shops, I go shopping alone. In fact I do most things alone. Alone is not lonely, it is empowering and rejuvenating.
It's important to know the difference between being alone and being lonely, and they're often confused.
Being alone makes me feel alive, comfortable and peaceful. My thoughts and imagination is the loudest when I'm alone.
That is when I'm more in tune to my feelings and thoughts . When I'm alone, I'm developing the most important relationship anyone could have, the relationship with yourself.
If you don't like your own company, how can you expect someone to like it?
"The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want" - Justin Timberlake
