2020 Hour #10: Dirty Little Secret
I’m going to tell you a secret-
I don’t mind being locked down during the pandemic
I was made for just this type of isolation
Shaped small enough to fit in this confinement.
I am in no hurry to get back to the world
That I lived for so long and well without
Maneuvering myself around others
Mastering the art of hiding in plain sight.
I already did most things by myself
I never pined for constant connection
Taking it only where convenient
Or necessary.
The art of the solitary
Is the discipline of not minding
Being alone.
I feel that way most of the time too. Once in awhile I miss the occasional trip outside of my house with my daughters, but we talk a lot and being alone has always been what I did.
I feel like this also. It is comforting to see I am not alone in this thinking. Wonderful piece!
I have often felt guilty about feeling this way so grateful to know there are others who feel the same!
