soledad

The thing I value most right now is my solitude. Having complete possession of my own thoughts, mind, and feelings. Lingering for as long as I like in that interior room where my person is at complete liberty to play, to think, to feel, to be. 

Solitude used to be loneliness, when I felt that being alone was just an interim period I had to go through before someone else came along. Being alone was waiting… waiting till someone came in and filled in all that empty space. 

But now, being alone is not the absence of another person. It is not a negative space. It is filled with me. It has become my own country, and I guard its borders. 

My country’s currency is time: valuable, and not to be wasted or thrown away on fruitless pursuits. I value my time. I know it won’t last forever. 

Being alone has become solitude, and it’s a thing of real value in this world, in this life. So precious. And when the time comes that I have to leave this country, I hope I’ll still know my way back.
