How to be Alone

A friend of mine shared this video over Facebook.. and I think I would like to share it with all my readers..



I urge you to read the poem, HOW TO BE ALONE by Tanya Davis, that is included in the YouTube site. It is written so beautifully.. it is not gloom or depressing, but put across "alone-ness" matter-of-factly..

Here are bits of it...
Society is afraid of alonedom, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if, after a while, nobody is dating them. but lonely is a freedom that breaths easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it.
.....

Perhaps in the interest of loving oneself, perhaps all those sappy slogans from preschool over to high school's groaning were tokens for holding the lonely at bay. Cuz if you're happy in your head than solitude is blessed and alone is okay.
