Is It Good To Be Alone?

The thing that I love most is solitude with inner-peace. I just love being alone because it takes away my social anxiety and all of my worries suddenly disappear. My problems are no more in solitude. In my opinion, being alone is great. I don’t truly know why I like solitude; maybe it’s because I’m very comfortable with myself or maybe I’m enlightened, who knows?

When I am alone, I like to exercise, which is primarily the reason I go to the gym alone to exercise. For me, exercising is a way for me to stay physically active and relieve stress. I kill two birds with one stone and when I’m alone that shit is awesome (using the word awesome in its original, non-saturated context).

I just don’t get why people dread being alone when it feels so damn good or maybe I’m just subjectively fund of solitude. There are only a small hand of people who enjoy their own company and I’m one of them.

Being alone lets me focus on myself and cancel out life’s noise, so I just calm down and transcend to a conscious level. I don’t know how many times I’ve written this now, but solitude feels really good. Solitude was the way that I began to truly love myself. Basically, being with myself allowed me to forge a bond with myself and make myself top priority. Am I arrogant? Yes, because arrogance feels good.

You have to be content with yourself first to be content with others. Objective things (like other people and yes I’m refferring to other people as things) cannot allow you to value yourself. For example, what good is money if you only value the money (which has no actual meaning) itself, instead of using it as a tool to better yourself. If you only give value to the money, you’ll go into a downfall in due time, but if you aide yourself with the money for betterment, you will receieve a lot more from the money because you were content with yourself.

It’s nice to be social too, I like being social, but as with most things in life there has to be a balance. I’m not completely anti-social or completely social. I like to dab in a bit of both, hence my balance. What is your take on solitude?
