There have often been times when I have declined requests to go out on the weekend – for shopping, a movie with friends, anything – for no particular reason at all except that I did not want to go. I have always felt bad about it. I decided to write about the idea of solitude (for my final English paper, which I will share in the next post...coming very soon - like, practically instantaneously) because I wanted to learn about what solitude can provide for us so that I may have some validation that my desire to stay at home is not entirely to feel sorry for. Of course I was able to discover some other things along the way – including the opinions of friends and classmates – and was forced to think about myself and my choices (scary, right?) as well, which I have included in the document. Hopefully it makes you think about yourself, too, because what can be better than reading material that engages you personally?
If you've ever been curious about the whole ideal of solitude or you can't fathom how spending time alone can actually benefit us or be enjoyable, then maybe my paper will start you on a path of enlightenment. I can only hope it does. So for all (wow, I make it sound like soooo many people are going to see this) the people who stumble upon my blog: I hope you enjoy my paper! (And I hope you don't find too many grammatical errors and such...I probably could have proofread better.)
