Hello friends of holosylotus, I'm happy to be here and continue sharing another blog post with you. Today, I want to talk about a reflection entitled "Unwanted Loneliness": Don't Greet It with Fear. I found this topic interesting, and it's something I've thought about a lot. My mom also brings it up a few times a year. I invite you to read it, and if you'd like, please leave your comments to let me know what you think about the topic. I'd be delighted to read them.
First, I'll tell you why my mom brings this up from time to time. She starts by talking about the day she'll no longer be with my siblings and me, and from there she goes on and on. She's right because I've never lived away from home, and I don't know if I ever will. I don't go out much either, and neither do my siblings. My mom talks about it because she experienced loneliness herself. She left home at 18, and she says I slept alone, and at first it was hard for her because it was so quiet. She thinks it must have been difficult for her, since she lived at my grandmother's house, where there were always lots of people. She says that the moment when you live alone can come at any time, and you have to be prepared for it. But she always tells us about it with a positive outlook, and I do think about that day because I don't think loneliness will ever happen to me.
I do think about that all the time because, honestly, at any point in our lives there are moments of solitude, and we have to embrace it without fear because, hey, we're not the only ones in the world. And I also thought, it's not necessary to make our solitude something to fear, because there's music, a movie, or going out to be entertained by watching a film or going to the gym. Solitude isn't just about living locked in a room and dwelling on how bad things are for you; rather, use solitude as a time to meditate, to think things through more carefully, to think about what you're going to do and what you want, since it's a time when you're with yourself, listening to your thoughts. Don't be afraid of solitude; make it your ally in organizing your life.
I have thought about what it would be like to live alone, and I want to try it to see what I would do. Sometimes I've been home alone for a whole day, and I've used that time to listen to my favorite music, watch movies with the sound up, and also cook and eat my favorite foods. I don't consider loneliness something to fear; rather, it's an experience that we will all go through as people, and it's normal.
If you enjoyed this reflection, let me know in the comments. Thank you for joining me today, see you next time.
