RE: The Strange Discovery of Mr. Sumo, and a Wonderful Evening with Ms. So-and-So
Funny thing about "lonely." Some folks cherish the time they spend by themselves and others hate it. I think the difference is the people who like being alone like themselves a little more than those who hate being alone. You sort of have to be your own best friend for that sort of thing.
Yes, I think so too. You also need to be self-entertained, which I guess goes along with liking yourself a bit more. You need to like yourself to come up with stories, or art, or whatever stuff that comes out of your brain. Most of the time I like my alone time, although every once in a while it does get lonely.
I get the feeling you are basking in your alone-ness right now.
There are two aspects to being alone, however, that are less than desirable. Sometimes you need a foil--someone with a different approach to life who will say, "What on earth makes you think that?" And sometimes you just need to look into a pair of eyes that tell you they care. Those are the exceptions.
My main problem with being alone is that sometimes I think I'm too absorbed in my little world and freak myself out. I make myself go do things away from myself :)
That foil is important. A good weekly meetup with Ms. So-and-So usually takes care of that for me. And the loving eyes, Big Dog is here at my side. I guess I'm all set for tonight.
I hope you are too.
Then a very happy evening to you and Big Dog. ;-)
Dunno if I agree. I love the peace. But he is right in one way. It does creep up on you so I have to make an effort with the so and so's
I think what is key is that the So-and-So's are quality. Your average social interaction is draining after a certain amount of time, but the friends that feed your soul are never draining. You just end the evening refreshed.
you're not the only one you freak out.
There you go, poking around again...
lol!
