Hello dear community of Weekend Experiences, today again I join the topics proposed by the friend 
In view of this, I chose the third topic:What is your favorite way to find pleasure when you are alone and why?
I presume I took this one because it was quite striking to me due to new habits I'm incorporating into my daily life, so almost casuistically.
Peculiarly for several years I have realized that I have developed the taste and pleasure of enjoying solitude to a great extent, which does not mean that I am a lonely person, no, not at all, I usually love to be with family, with friends, among strangers, in different social environments ..... I like people, but the time and space to share with myself is more and more necessary every day, and I think that is precisely because of the things I can do being alone.

Since I was very little when I was alone there were things that gave me a relaxing and euphoric pleasure, like going round and round to make me dizzy (crazy, isn't it? 🤪), even the sacrilege of buying a chocolate candy and enjoy it hiding from the family, even today as an adult sometimes I do it, and it might sound selfish, but with age it's just an acquired habit, what difference does it make!
Nowadays I allow myself some foolishness in solitude, like connecting with some series of my taste, asking nobody to bother me, and crying my eyes out with the most sincere and authentic of the cheesiness that I hate so much in others, but that manage to take me away from the daily problems of the world, an infallible disconnection button, does it happen to you, right?
And as for music, it's more common, you just look for those tracks that saw you grow, love, dance, dream and the energy they transmit is incredible, you travel unequivocally to the past or the future, it's just a matter of what your heart asks you to dial.

Some events can also happen to me that arrive accidentally or unconsciously, for example when I'm in the kitchen a million things I left half done come all at once: changes of plans, schedule adjustments, a birthday, the vet's office, a movie version of one of my favorite books, the project I didn't write...oh my! that leaves me absorbed, and my mind disconnects from the external reality in an amazing way but at the same time it causes me a particularly relaxing pleasure, because it is exactly the moment when I feel in the fourth dimension and I lose even the notion of time, but that in the end I end up breaking when I blame myself for what I did or didn't do in a demanding, very demanding way and I start to hate myself stupidly for it.
But there is something that lately seduces me a lot from my spiritual tranquility and in the afternoons of my sunny balcony, and it is precisely to observe people in their steps without them perceiving it and take pictures of those little moments, it's like watching a movie in real time and of course feel the emotions of their actions. It is not that I am interested in being aware of their problems, it is a matter of the moment in which you can capture sadness, joy, encounters, farewells, love, friendship, laughter, beautiful people, people lost in the air, people alone, people who work, people who just come and go, and people who also watch you...it is to live a documentary series of the environment where you are, but that is real, very real.

Sitting quietly and alone in a beautifully crowded place and enjoying the comings and goings of people through a photo is a relaxing and sophisticated spectacle in my new classification of personalized tastes, am I getting old?
Maybe I'm just practicing a more peculiar way of observing the world, alone, from a calm, quiet vantage point, and from where I can delight in the invisible details hidden in the human soul.
I imagine that people readjust their pleasures according to their needs, the moments of solitude are also enjoyable and there from your little corner you can be the protagonist of your best stories, the real ones and the fantasy ones, but always with your feet on the ground and your eyes on your heart.
