People who aren't lonely in their own company can make anyone feel at home in their presence. People who take time to hear themselves become the best listeners. People who talk to the storms within them can talk anyone down to ease. The loneliness that this world fears is very powerful when it's solitude.

stamattina riflettevo su quanto,a volte, sia molto più facile fare la morale agli altri o dare consigli,probabilmente utili a noi stessi, su come affrontare la vita.

Che ci battiamo per vincere le guerre altrui e veniamo sconfitti nelle nostre.

Quando instancabilmente cerchiamo di convincere gli altri a cambiare,auto-motivarsi e migliorare, mettendoci in stand-by dal nostro dolore. Quasi come fosse un conseguenza reazionaria alle nostre battaglie interiori,quelle che nessuno vede,dove nessuno si preoccupa di darti consigli o semplicemente ascoltare.

Ora, quando tutto attorno si fa grigio,vuoto, e ti ritrovi solo tra le macerie del cuore, con quanta forza affronti i problemi seguendo i consigli che dai agli altri?

Orlando naturally loved solitary places, vast views, and to feel himself for ever and ever and ever alone.

May Sarton, from Journal of a Solitude

[Text ID: Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass.

Let it go.]

Erika L. Sánchez, from Lessons on Expulsion: Poems; “Amá”

[Text ID: “In One Hundred Years of Solitude, / Márquez wrote that we are birthed / by our mothers only once, but life obligates / us to give birth / to ourselves over and over.”]

— July 1, 1913 / Franz Kafka

To be in favor of solitude is not to be against community or friendship or love. It’s not that being alone is better, just that without the experience of it we block ourselves from discovering something enormously beneficial, perhaps even vital, to selfhood. Who are you when you are not a friend, a partner, a lover, a sibling, a parent, a child? When no one is with you, what do you do, and do you do it differently than if someone was there? It’s hard to see someone fully when another person is always attached to them. More importantly, it’s hard for us to see our own selves if we’re not ever alone.
