Today I was sitting alone and the world was quiet around me with no sounds other than my thoughts moving between the things I have lived and the things I am still waiting to live Times of solitude are strange they are not always bad but sometimes they open doors to questions that I did not think about when I was busy.
I believe that silence does not mean emptiness on the contrary sometimes it is more crowded than noise because it carries all the words we did not say all the feelings that are trapped inside us and all the responses that came late When I am alone I start asking myself What am I supposed to do What is worth my thinking about Sometimes this question is more difficult than its answer.
Times of solitude give me a chance to review myself remember the things that have passed and imagine what is to come I do not always know all the answers but I have learned that the important thing is to give myself space to think without fear or rush Everything has its time and nothing stays the same forever even the feeling of loneliness.
I hope to learn how to be a friend to myself in these times instead of running away from them Because in the end loneliness is not always an enemy it can be an opportunity to see ourselves more clearly and hear the voice inside us without the noise of the world.
At certain moments when I feel lonely I start asking myself Am I really alone or do I just feel that way Because the truth is that we are not alone in the literal sense there are always things around us even if they are just thoughts circling inside us Maybe solitude gives us space to be honest with ourselves away from any pressure or acting Sometimes I need these moments to organize my thoughts and understand myself more.
Silence is sometimes like a mirror it reflects everything inside us clearly When the world is silent thoughts speak louder I remember old situations decisions I made and things I could have dealt with better But instead of judging myself I try to think How can I learn from all of this Because the past is over and what matters is what I will do next And I hope that I always find in moments of silence an opportunity for growth not for sadness or regret.
