solitude.
our world has become so opposed to the idea of being alone. After contemplating it with one of my friends, I realized that there is a huge difference in being alone and being lonely. Our world is overcome with communication. There is always an opportunity for streaming contact with other individuals. With this constant communication comes constant influence from other people, good or bad. Therefore, being alone seems to have transitioned from a subconscious reality to a conscious effort. I'd say it's become quite as much of a necessity as food, water, and shelter in our over-complicated lifestyles. Without this time alone, one cannot be truly sincere to the identity they've been chosen to assume. Only in complete solidarity can one be completely true to themselves. With the appropriate amount of solidarity, one can further discover and strengthen their ideals so that they can go back and be in the world but not of the world.
maintaining this independence despite our subconscious submission to the ideals around us must take a more waking decision dearest readers.
solitude, think about it.
