Time Alone.

It's not all the time that I want company, or listen to the noise of endless banter, or watch the chaotic human parade of other people's lives. It's vexing to the mind, is wearying to the heart, and tires the soul down.

Sometimes... I simply want to be alone. And not even pick up the phone.

On a typical day alone, I sleep a bit longer and get up and make myself a breakfast and watch my favorite news program. When i feel better, I spend more of that time sitting in a quiet coffee shop, writing or reading with just a hot chocolate and cakes for company.

Sometimes I simply want to be with my thoughts- thinking of the past and the things it has left me with- thinking of the present and how it's forming my tomorrows.

Sometimes I simply want to be seeing my flaws, mistakes, imperfections. Seeing how fragile and vulnerable I truly am. Looking at my limitations, my borders, my walls and yet understanding that I too have my own strengths, potential, and the power to dream. That everything there, good or bad, has shaped who
I am.

Spending time with my own thoughts and simply relaxing my mind, body and soul keeps me balanced. I believe the greatest gift we can give ourselves is some time to sit quietly and just be.

Sometimes I simply want to be here- with nothing- doing nothing- yet loving everything.

Love,

Steph♥
