Time Alone
A friend told me that when she's on her own, surrounded by peace and quiet she has to create some sort of noise and bustle LOL ! I made a joke about her not liking her own company .Why does privacy feel so threatening at times? Is is because in the absence of distractions and company we feel empty, weary.frightened, lost or just lonely? Are we suddenly aware of memories and obligations or or what ever it is that we are suppressing or trying to forget ?
I have certainly been there . But i have found that if I can bear the feelings or be helped to stay with them, and deal with my inner unease instead of running away or creating some distractions, then I dont regret it. Because through dealing with is comes peace.
As things ease up inside me, I am able to once more enjoy quiet, private pursuits...I go for walks, listen to music or just sit and read a good book ...........believe it or not .......I have arrived and this promotes a very deep inner calm.
Have a Great Day All !!
Be great and Grateful

However many of my friends would have the same view of your friend, staying at home in there own company they tend to stick there ''imganation'' into over drive. My buddie was staying with me for a few days, I live out the country not to far away from the city I got a phone call late one night she was so convinced someone was in the house she'd locked herself into the room, I couldn't drive to her as I'd been drinking as I was new to the area I couldn't ring a neighbour etc etc I ended up ringing the local guards to go visit not only did they wake up a disgruntled old man by arriving to the wrong house at 2am but to find that she had terrfied herself so much that they brought her back to her own place ha ha She however is extremely confidant, independent highly skilled, educated, ambitious etc etc yet she struggles to stay on her own Madness I say!
