I thrive on being alone. It is these moments I think I'm closest to peace. When I am alone is when I meditate, when I am alone is when I journal or read. I feel closest with myself when I am alone. It is a cozy feeling to be alone in my room or if possible my house, knowing every action I do is free from judgment or my perceived judgment from them. I even like doing things alone, I have no problem going to a bar by myself and often do. My mind is often a scary place, but it a place that I can navigate.

All that being said, the right company can be a welcome interlude, however I believe I would rather spend the majority of my time alone.
