I love to just be. I could stay in one place for the entire day if I had a book or my laptop and food. I've never felt the need to get up and run. I've never felt the compulsion to do something. I'm happiest when I'm by myself. I don't know how many hours I've wiled away just thinking about the most random things, whether they are of consequence or not. I've never felt lonely when I'm alone.
I find a certain solace in being by myself which I rarely find with other people. I can wear my shorts and ratty t-shirts and just chill. I also have the ability to conduct endless conversations with myself. Probably a sign of madness, I know. But I visualize scenarios and imagine what I'd say or do, I sing at the top of my voice, I dance with complete abandon, I yell away my anger and frustration over something, I even laugh at my own jokes. I like my company.
My mom thinks I like being by myself a little too much. But hey, I don't do anything in small measures. I think everyone should know how to be. Just be. Life isn't all about getting to the next big or happening thing. Its also about learning to savour and cherish the now. Its about living in the moment. Life isn't just about crossing items off your bucket list. Its about getting to them when you get to them. Life isn't just a race to the finish line, its about making friends along the way. Life is about dancing in the rain, playing under the sun, sitting around a bonfire with a hot cup of coffee in winter. Life is about learning to be comfortable in your skin. Life is about learning to be comfortable with people as well as without them. Life is about independence and freedom. Its about pushing your limits and knowing when to stop. Its about reaching for the stars and yet finding your home. Sometimes life can be a roller-coaster ride and sometimes it can be a cruise down a serene river.

There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Frankly, I don't understand how anyone can't not like their own company. I mean, it's you; if you don't like yourself, how in the world do you expect anyone else to like you? It's common sense, isn't it? If you can't stand spending a few hours by yourself, without chatting with anyone, how do you expect somebody to spend the entire day with you? If you bore yourself, won't you bore everyone else as well? Food for thought, isn't it?
