Welcome Solitude

Solitude is not an unfortunate condition. Because of it, you are able to pay attention to yourself and listen to the voice within that has long been neglected.

It all begins when you voluntarily shut out the noise of the outside world. Then, self-reflection begins. Looking back on how you have lived, you realize that you have evolved in both positive and negative ways.

Instead of lamenting the past, you want to pat yourself on the shoulder and say, “I’m glad I’m still willing to keep living, because there are so many wonderful things that continue to intrigue and inspire me.”

Indeed, solitude gently welcomes the discovery—or rediscovery—of your true self. It offers you a gift: an oxygen mask that can save you from the relentless current of social pressures shaped by culture, tradition, and systems.
