It's healthy to spend some time alone. -Gautam Joshi

Being alone is not being lonely and being alone isn't being weak. In a world of eight billion people where interaction with people is inevitable, there is a time when you need to be with yourself.

All alone! Processing, recouping, and collecting every ounce of response which your body has to offer.

Like every relationship and individual you interact with, requires your time, engagement, and effort, to feel important, your body, mind, and soul require the same. Your body and mind need that processing, to adapt to the changes around you and keep up with the fast pace.

It is tough even for it, to deal with so many things, so much happening and pressure, that it becomes suffocating to be around people. It feels as if the identity is blurred among the crowd and sanity is rampaged by the people. You can never be a people's person. It is never enough for you to be dealing with so much around you and keep up with everything. Someday, something will be left behind and it is for the good. When you cling on to a lot of things, you bruise your fingers and similarly, if you do not take out time for yourself and your sanity, you would bruise your health and happiness.

Alone isn't bad, it is healthy. It is the time when you recoup, heal, and rejuvenate. It is your time to figure out the happenings and take out time for yourself. It is your time to do what you want to do and cut off from the people. It is for you, to work with yourself and for yourself.

The idea of being alone is scandalized by the tiktokification of emotions, where people feel the need to barge into privacy and nudge people off. It is the false idea of portraying someone alone as someone not enough. It is pitying them for their condition. But that's not the case, people might seem happy from the outside even around people, and sad from within.

It is how you perceive being alone to be. Realizing that you are there for yourself and you are enough, is what matters. There might be stigmas around the idea of being alone, but being a rebel and busting those stigmas is what matters!

It is not being selfish but prioritizing yourself above everyone and taking a stand for your benefit. See, the sky where the moon is alone amidst the stars and even it needs that time off and alone to shine bright every night!
