Hello. Solitude. It's something I've always longed for and try to rush to when I can. Growing up with lots of siblings, finding a quiet space of my own in a tiny house was non-existent. Someone was always invading my space. Well, the fact is, I had no space. The longing for quiet and solitude increased as I grew to adulthood.
But then I had to reconcile the fact that if I was to have a family of my own, solitude had to be compromised. Young children don't understand a parent's need for it. However, as they grew older and wanted their own space, only then did they come the realization of solitude and what it meant. One reason why I didn't have a large family of my own :)
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful article. I can relate.
