The importance of being alone
I wanted nothing but to go through life alone and travel in my early twenties. I loved the feeling of being in an uncomfortable state, and it allowed me to break down any barriers and be 100% me essentially.
Recently, I have found that due to increased anxiety and depression. Mentally there has been a shift where the thought of being home alone, completely reliant on myself. It brings me on this almost “episode” - I notice the first few days become a blur and put me into a slump (depending on the time of the month, of course), then I hit a spike in productivity, which can sometimes lead to isolation.
I never really took note of how I manage my time alone and how important it was for me until well COVID. I know that right now is a peculiar time for all of us, whether we are enjoying this time or finding it harder than ever. Just know that this time will pass and whatever feeling you are experiencing, relish in it. I share my best healing when I truly feel every emotion, negative or positive.
It would help if you also remembered to give yourself a break. The only thing that needs your serious concern is your health. I speak a lot on social about taking that moment for you and journaling. I can’t stress enough how important it is to unplug and give yourself that moment.
