Solitude

I just tried writing a really lengthy and self-important post about what solitude means and then I realized it was drivel so I stopped.

But basically, I think that solitude is a great, great thing. There is so much to be gained from spending time alone with oneself, and speaking personally, I am much happier when I'm able to have those moments alone than when I'm spending consecutive hours with others (even if those others are people I love and care about). Which is not to say that I don't love being around people I love, because I do. I simply feel more content and ordered when I can have sufficient time alone. That's basically the pared-down version of the huge long thought that was in my head.

And because I am me and can't state a thought without some musical association, here is a Grandaddy song:
