When I was a child, legend (aka my parents) tells that I spent hours upon hours by myself.
I wasn't an only child, my older sister was only two years older from me, but I preferred to spend most of my time reading, drawing, playing, in SOLITUDE. I was never lonely, because I had my imagination, my mind to keep me company. I enjoyed my solitude. I wasn't bored by it. I was rather 'born to it.' Solitude was a safe haven, a shelter to my feelings, an anchor to them. Solitude was in may ways - my very own bat cave. I am no longer a child, and in many ways I have changed drastically since my younger days, but solitude has never changed its appearance to me. It was always and remains - a vocation of the soul. So today, as I was pondering my love for solitude while I was - surprise, surprise - in solitude, I made up a word to describe the experience best: SOULITUDE. My minutes and hours sitting down and writing this very blog - is a dive into 'soulitude.' And maybe YOU, dear reader, maybe reading my words offers you some sense of SOULITUDE.
