loneliness is not neccesarily a bad thing.
i spent 'myself' time today.
that meant reading a novel alone in my room, cherishing the non-interupptions, the much-missed silence.
that meant eating my lunch alone savouring the yummy vegetable soup and not having to stop and talk.
that meant walking out to the busstop alone leisurely, enjoying the morning sunshine and the general happy feeling of a new day.
that meant sitting at the busstop alone, listening to chirpy little mermaid soundtrack and humming along much to the consternation of passers-by.
that meant swimming alone in the noisy pool which gradually cleared to become silent and cool in the evening light.
that meant floating my back, a lone star against the lapping water, staring at the grey cloudy sky, marvelling at the beyond'ness', my mind comfortably blank.
i haven't spent 'myself' time for really long, despite this being the hols.
if you haven't, you should too...
a solitary figure amidst the whirlwinds of time,
ev'rything is ephemeral.
the sand in your palm flies away in grains,
the flower between your fingers disintegrate at the slightest force.
so look for the truth within oneself,
the essence of being,
unattached to human possessions.
love oneself,
or no one will.
"selflessness is the highest form of selfishness." (credit to becca)
how true...
un moment à se rappeler
. a moment to remember.
