I need a break.
Physically, but mostly, emotionally.
Ever just want to go somewhere alone. Take a good book. Maybe a journal, bottle of wine, cheese and crackers and just BE?
Disappear from the world.
Hide from
Complaints
Whining
Pettiness
Responsibility
Alarm clocks
Clothing
The news
I’m sure you have a list of your own.
And I am sure I can add to my list.
Some people don’t like being alone.
It would be OK to do this with a friend or spouse that needs the same recharging.
No plans
No agenda
Everything on the spur of the moment or just nothing at all.
Share each others company, and that bottle of wine.
And silence.
Solitude can be amazing if you love your own company.
Time to look inside yourself.
Tweek your plans for the future.
New ideas.
Find yourself again.
I’ve never understood people that could not go out to eat alone.
I had someone tell me once that only losers go out alone.
Hmm, seems to me it takes a lot of self confidence to sit in a crowded restaurant and enjoy a wonderful meal in your own company.
I tend to share my company with people I like.
Its a pity she didn’t like herself.
If you don’t like you. Why would anyone else?
Maybe that is how alone time should be spent.
Learning to love ourselves again.
Finding the real you.
Not the you that is the
Boss
Spouse
Friend
Sibling
Parent
But that Star personality.
The one that you keep hidden in fear someone will think you are weird, stupid, or strange.
Be you!
If only more people could be themselves instead of Play acting to try to impress, or be who someone else thinks they should be.
Imagine how must less effort it takes and the stress level of maintaining an “image” would disappear.
You will be surrounded by those that love you for you.
Not your status
Or money
Position
Or clothes you wear.
What crowd you hang with,
Or who claims to be your friend.
YOU!
What an amazing feeling!!
To be loved for who I am and what I project naturally.
Being able to look at myself in the mirror and know
I am the real thing!
(Except for covering those grays)
I am liked, loved, looked up to and possibly admired by some for who I am.
Whether I am wearing Walmart clothes or carrying a Gucci bag.
Its about what I wrap my self around, not what is wrapped around me.
Love yourself big!!
Lorene
