Times of Solitude

My preference seems to be whatever I have less of at the moment. In high school, all I wanted was alone time, because I never got much of it. I had to hide in my room to get any at all, and that wasn't foolproof. Once I got to college I hated being alone, because it felt like I had to be so much of the time, and not by choice. I really grew to loathe eating alone.

Now I feel like I have a pretty good balance. I would say I'm more social than not, but I manage to find time for myself. I've discovered that I really much prefer to shop alone. And with the baby, time to myself is really quite precious. Honestly, sometimes I even treasure being able to go to the bathroom alone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
