I have a deep love for being with things/people that don’t speak the same language as I do. I really enjoy being with and NOT understanding.

What’s invigorating for me could be an intense allergy to someone else. And I’m okay with that 🤍

ooh that's interesting! And I like the way you put it, some things ain't for everybody and that has to be okay! I think part of my aversion to company is feeling a pressure to do/like the same things everyone else does/likes. It's okay to have my own thing. Thanks for reading! 💜

Solitude is where I found peaceful moments and hobbies that allowed me to connect with me without the roles and expectations (as you said). Still, I enjoy it very much and it’s hard to come out of that cocoon.

My favorite place to be is alone. I am my favorite person, my most entertaining company. Last year when my depression was the worst its ever been, I found myself isolating heavily. It became unhealthy to be alone but I pushed myself closer and closer to faux recluse life. I'm glad I've found a balance of sorts now. Enjoying my solitude while also spending intentional time with my community. Thank you for sharing this Jolie, it really made me reflect!
