on being alone....

wonder why we fight it?

is it a reaction to childhood loneliness?

once mastered, the art of being alone can be liberating...




Do you "do" alone?

Have you tried?

I know,

it 

sounds 

like 

an 

indulgence



it's not.

  1. Hi Ellen
    Well I live alone so 'do alone' everyday... I think I've become quite accustomed to it.. although when I was younger I didn't like it at all..

    Have a fabulous weekend.. ciao xxx Julie

  3. I was raised to be able to do 'alone' and not be 'lonely'. I still love solitude.

  6. That was so sweet and touching. Thank you. Think I will send it on to my girlies. Aloneness feels so much more visible in one's twenties. :>)
