Being alone is not always loneliness.

Being alone is not always loneliness. Sometimes it is the only moment when you stop reacting to others’ expectations and hear what you want again. Turn off the noise, walk without company, or sit without watching anything. Silence may feel uncomfortable at first because there is nowhere to hide. Yet in that silence, you may meet the person you have neglected most: yourself. Healthy solitude is a return, not an escape.
