That feeling of solitude. The recognition of your lone self, separate to the world. The enclosed atmosphere that encompasses everything you are, where thoughts roam sometimes gently sometimes wildly. And when you focus on that space, when you withdraw from the present environment, into the depths of your being, you see the world as it truly is, rather than what it seems to be. You see it as a place filled with people just like yourself, going through similar things and thinking and feeling just like you do. When you realise you have all the people around you, and yet still you have no one. Nothing can change the fact that we are all alone, very alone. Alone in our minds. That one place only you can enter, the place you constantly try to run from. The silence of that place is so overbearing that we strive to find a noise to fill it, the noise we find in people.
  I have that feeling. That feeling of solitude.
  Except that I don't run from it.
  I explore it.
