Solitude

I'm just drinking beer and reading your posts. Time to relax. Thinking about how busy this week has been...
I can hardly make any sense :lol:
 
I'm having a cup of tea and pondering why, with so much time on my hands, I seem to get so little done.
 
It is now pleasant enough to sit outside in the plaza, which is nested between three high rises. There are some tables and chairs, trees and green plants quaking in the cool breeze. Sparrows and starlings have come out to sing. Some other neighbors come out too to have their coffee and breakfast and that is a good time to chat. My building has events in the lobby. One simply needs to take the elevator. When I see my neighbors emerge at the same time that I do, I try to have a small chat, but usually either one of us is too busy to visit. Work is hectic and customer service oriented. I get too much interaction that way and that is stressful. My family wants me to come out during the week more often, but I don't have the energy after work AND come home at 11 at night. I am swinging single these days. I'm better for it. Boyfriends come with too many problems. Once in a while I will meet a friend for dinner. That is about the extent of my social interaction. So my evenings are my alone time to get away from people.

A lot of people like to advertise their popularity on social media by posting a ceaseless trickle of group photos. I don't really feel the need or want to do this. I will probably go on for the rest of my life this way, talking to people in the plaza, and having my one on one time with friends. Solitude is peaceful. I don't mind it. When one has a lot of introverted hobbies it is even preferable.

Sitting here eating alone. Fortunately the day has been spent worthwhile with me searching plants and pots for my balconies.

I would like to know what the rest of you are doing this evening.

We have the roommate's daughter with us this weekend so there's no solitude to be found, and definitely no tranquility.

It's a nice spring day so we're planning on a walk in the park soon.
 
So Bellamy do you spend your life alone as I do or do you have a group of friends with whom you share your free time?

Solitude is an illusion. Nothing is separate, everything is connected. Science.

 
^ Solitude is a feeling, not a condition.

I am not feeling "alone" because I don't have a bunch of self-proclaimed "good normal" pompous idiots around in my life.
 
Making friends is as easy as making love, and finding friends is just as difficult as finding love.
 
I just watched an enthralling in-depth interview with Janet Baker on BBC4 (if you have access to the BBC iPlayer you can still catch it) and it finished with this famous recording. Dame J read the translation first.


I am lost to the world
With which I used to waste much time;
It has for so long known nothing of me,
It may well believe that I am dead.
Nor am I at all concerned
If it should think that I am dead.
Nor can I deny it,
For truly I am dead to the world.
I am dead to the world’s tumult
And rest in a quiet realm!
I live alone in my heaven,
In my love, in my song!​


 
The problem isn't solitude per se, it's how boring life can be. I wonder what it'd be like with a partner... would we be having fun together? or both of us getting bored simultaneously?
 
^ You people are not talking about solitude, but purposelessness.
 
I have a purpose in my life and I'm happy with it, thank you. I'm talking about solitude. That evening time when I'm alone and I'm bored, and I don't know what to do. Of course I could keep on working, reading, studying or doing house work, but I don't want to. I just want to relax and have a nice time.
