"When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect."
- Schopenhauer
As I get older, I am slowly learning the difference between 'being independent' and 'being alone.'
I thought I was one, but am coming to realize that I am actually the other.

Not meaning to offend, but you could try getting back to the people that love you and contact you with some frequency. We really are interested in what's going on in your life.

ReplyDeleteAside from the "anonymous" comment, which I'm not certain how it is intended, the other two comments do not appear to be casting blame. Maybe your follow-up had more to do with offline comments...
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I'm in total agreement with you, and I am in the same boat. Well, not the same boat, obviously, or neither of us would be ostracized and estranged.
Being independent is great. Sometimes being alone is just what you need at certain times in life. Always know that our home is open and welcoming whenever you feel like being a bit dependent and want to shelve that whole "alone" thing for a while...
