At 31, I really can relate to the topic and statements uttered in this article. It is very helpful to people who live their solitary. Kindly continue this and Thank you for this kind of topic!

I Have been living alone for 14 yrs. Being alone made me more independent, trust worthy, broad minded, impartial in dealing with people&circumstances. Specially with the proffession I have.

Affirming that it is lonely, sad some of the time, but at least i hold my time to do anything without hesitation and permission from anyone.

When I am sad and feeling the solitary depression, I eat anything at any time, I take a walk, watch movie, travel, or drive around, then get home at any time.. It is so very relaxing when at home alone and quiet after a whole day of mingling with children and adult, and reflecting before going to sleep the good memories of each day. And learning to teach my self to forgive but not forget in order not to commit the same mistake I made each day… Coz the less mistake I make, the less pain, i give to my mind&soul, the less pain I have, is the more happiness&accomplishment of being alone..

Being alone is not a life to pity, but a kind of life to be admired. For if it is hard to raise and support a family, it is concurring in raising a oneself without anyone or without a family beside you.

i always wanted my me-time on a long-long trip…wherein i feel that all of my problems are taken away by the wind. you are correct on that point that when your alone you have more time to discover yourself..just don’t forget how to laugh or be too proud to cry for its by doing both that we live to its fullest..

Thank you. I intermingle with many people and feel I take on their energy and it drains me. My goal is to take one day a week to myself. -Kaya Cassan

My husband and I just bought a second home in Fl.I’m here he’s still working up north.after raising kids, caring for grandchildren, I love living alone.;I miss my husband and we value our time when we are together. after 43yrs, its added a freshness to our relationship..probably wouldn’t have survived when we were 40 but at 60some..we like it..

Great post, thanks. Alone time is great, but even when you have a toddler 24/7 for weeks on end, just finding time to spend a few minutes in quiet stillness will do the trick, even if you aren’t “alone”

When my teenagers were little I used to stay up late to get alone time. Now at 44, I am just too wore out to stay up late for any reason! LOL! But I do crave quiet stillness!

Many blessings,
Carrie

Great blog post. I agree with getting regular doses of me-time. I really like the way Brett broke it down into individual benefits, too. I find that my me-time does allow me to get to the heart of what I think and what I feel instead of what I’m being told by others or how I’m being influenced by others. Really enjoyed this.
