Alone


I have no problem being alone.
Really, I can go just about anywhere by myself, as long as my sole purpose for going is not to meet people. If it is, then my preference is that I have a friend with me.
However, I enjoy singularity. shopping, going to eat, bible study, or just adventuring around town. Being able to go at my own pace is something I can appreciate.
I have come to a point where I no longer feel the need, or even the desire, to be in a romantic relationship. I realize this seems rather contradictory to my normal stance, but it is where I am right now.
I don't feel the need to enter into something that I cannot commit to. This occurred to me as I thought about my comfort with being alone. Because, although I am alone, I am not lonely.
My God is with me at all times. That keeps me from feeling lonely. I enjoy the company of my close friends, and would almost never turn down the opportunity to spend time with them. Nevertheless, as often happens, I find myself going out on adventures by myself and also find that I have no problem with it. It is not rare that I actually discover a wonderful day in my secluded world.
There is nothing wrong with spending time with just yourself, and God. It doesn't have to be boring, it doesn't have to be lonely. It is very important for a person to feel a sense of self worth. And sometimes you need to spend some quality time alone with yourself to discover that.
