I’ve spent stretches of my life feeling very alone. And I have actually been alone at certain times and places. When I have chosen that, I relish in the time and the recuperation I receive from being alone. When the negative alone happens to me, it’s because I want something else to be true, not what is.

I went to a personal development seminar. It was the first I’ve been to in years, since before Covid. I’ve gone to enough to get a degree. I’ve worked at others enough for a dual degree.
