I feel like being by my lonesome tonight. Some cocktails for me. Good music playing softly, a soothing buzz from others’ conversations.

I don’t always want my family and friends around me. I don’t always want every one talking to me. There are days when being alone is best. Trust me, you need a day when you can hear yourself think. You need a day of solitude.

I remember the pitying looks I got from former co-workers whenever they saw me eating lunch by myself. They would go out of their way to invite me to eat lunch with them. I go out of my way to avoid them. I’d rather eat lunch by myself and feel the peace and quiet around me, than be surrounded by people I didn’t like at all and their needless chatter.

Yes, a solitary day is still the best from time to time.
