“The world today does not understand, in either man or woman, the need to be alone.”
This book gave me my New Years resolution for 2019. I need alone time by the days, weeks, and months, but what do I do when alone time isn’t possible in the quantities I need? This is all something I was asking my aunt, who gave me this book, which echoes my conviction that alone time is not only a good thing, it’s essential for survival. But also, in this book, Anne Lindbergh comments that one reason social interaction is exhausting is because we’re insincere.
That rings true with me. And so that’s my goal for the year. Be less insincere. See if that alleviates some of the exhaustion of people.
That, and as much glorious solitude as I can possibly get.
