I have learned something about myself since I have been at school. Actually, I have learned several things. In fact, it is remarkable the amount I have learned about myself in just the short time I have been here. I will save all those for another post. Today I want to focus on what I have learned as result of living with five other girls.
I always thought my biggest fear was being alone and in part it still is, but what I have realized since living here is I LOVE being alone. Holy cow, I took advantage of being an only child for 5 years as well as having older siblings who didn't want to play with me as a child. Oh the joy of walking into a house that no one is in and just sitting. The quiet. How I miss being able to sing out loud without worrying that someone was listening.
When I am home alone I just sit and think "Perfect. Life is perfect." I blame my father for this quality of enjoying solitude.
"I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity." Albert Einstein (from Dad)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy solitude, too, just not dark nights alone.
