Solitude

Alone

I like being alone. 

I like it because I get to sit in silence and be with only my thoughts and feelings. I like being alone because I get to do what I want with no interruptions or distractions.

I like being alone because I notice things more. Like right now, I'm noticing how my lamp in my room is casting a Rhombus like shape on my one wall. I like how I can hear my dogs breathing from a few feet away, knowing that if there were others around, I wouldn't be able to hear it. 

However, I don't like feeling alone. 

I don't like being in a room full of people I love and not wanting to be there. I don't like trying to talk to them and their not understanding what I'm trying to say or ignoring it. I don't like being in a room with my family, but not wanting to be there. I don't like it when I'm with them but all I want to do is be alone.

I like being alone. But not feeling alone.
