alone time

for anyone that has known me for any length of time, you know that i am firm believer in "alone time." whether you are in a relationship or not, there is true value in the time you spend alone. people have always seem bothered when i tell them that i enjoy watching movies in the theater alone, dinner alone, and have even been to a concert alone. these are not things that i want to do alone everyday, but once in awhile, it is therapy for me.

when i feel lost or that i'm losing myself, i find myself again by spending time alone. i miss having the beach to walk on, but i have found lots of places to drive or to walk. i LOVE riding the metro. (a whole other blog) i even find alone time at work, if i can. even though my job requires me to be extroverted, i get my energy through introversion. if i don't get enough time alone, i am not fun to be around. i'm just lucky that sara understands. she even requires some now and then.

take time for yourself every now and then. you won't regret it.
