There is such a depressing feel if you're eating breakfast alone in a fast food on a cold and wet friday morning. Yet at the same time, there is peacefulness in that solitude. I have always been comfortable being alone. Though not usually surrounded by a bunch of people, i believe i am not lacking the required social skills to be considered as an antisocial. No doubt i enjoy the company of my friends but i am also comfortable being on my own once in a while.
If being a loner means window shopping alone, or eating out all by yourself or doing those solitary jogs very early in the morning, then i submit to being one. But what makes it different for me is that I enjoy those moments alone, and not because i don't have a choice.
Yes, at times I feel pathetic. But these moments of solitude is an opportunity for me to see things in a clearer and unobstructed view of life, without the clutter from other people's opinion. I have learned to appreciate the mundane things surrounding me and i have strengthened my relationship with God for these moments are spent being with him, talking to him and simply thanking him for what I have become. My solitude has been a great way for me to be a better person. I am able to assess myself and at the same time, understand other people by simply observing them.
I doubt if I can dig this deeper when I am with another person.
Understanding one's self and that of others, comes only by listening, not only through your ears, but also through your heart. And it can only be done by spending some time alone and getting to know yourself more better.
In my case, loners arent that pathetic after all.
