Sunt curioasă… Poate cineva să nege? Îmi poate spune cineva că nu are momente în care să-și dorească doar singurătatea ca prieten?
Eu mai am astfel de momente. Mi se întâmplă uneori să simt cum întreaga mea ființă își dorește o pauză de la realitate.
Nu știu de voi, dar eu cred că singurătatea ne vorbește. Ne cheamă să o luăm în brațe, să o ascultăm, să stăm alături de ea. Nu vrea să-i fim inamici, dezertori, fugari. Are nevoie de noi, la fel de mult cum avem și noi nevoie de ea.
Singurătatea are o frumusețe aparte… Parcă în acele momente îți poți auzi gândurile, îți permiți să te pierzi printre ele, ca mai apoi să ajungi să înțelegi de ce simți nevoia de-a te lăsa răpit de liniștea din spatele revoltei de gânduri. Cu toții avem nevoie de astfel de zile. Acele momente ne arată fața pe care încercăm din răsputeri să o ascundem de noi înșine, acea parte din noi care e speriată și fragilă.
Singurătatea ne permite să ne accesăm fricile și să vedem că armata fricii, cu soldații dezamăgirii și armele suferinței, pierd în fața batalionului fericirii, cu soldații iubirii și armele speranței.
Din păcate sau din fericire, nu putem fi mereu singuri, dar dacă reușim așa ceva, putem profita de pace, să ne odihnim și trupul și sufletul.

Nothing like sitting alone. You will feel your own existence deep down inside yourself. Deeper you go, then you will. see your worth. You may have seen the monks sitting quietly, perhaps by photos. That’s how they are trying to see themselves. I often do that, too.

I got the idea and I can agree that being sometimes on your own is very helpful…but being lonely is not! I think it’s just good to have enough time for yourself and stay away from people. It helps understand this world better!

And it actually feels like it’s raining in your head, don’t you think? Just a calming, peaceful and soothing rain in my rain. That’s how I describe my taking holidays from reality — doesn’t feel similar to you? I enjoy walking in the rain a lot, but even more a good rain in the head 😊😊 I totally understand you ☔ ☔ ☔

This is not a criticism of your English, which is as good as ever. I like to distinguish between loneliness and being alone. The first is, I think, negative, being an unpleasant feeling. The second is how I would describe your positive feelings. One can feel lonely and unhappy in company, yet perfectly content when alone.

I totally agree with you, Derrick. Here I’m talking more about being alone, a self-imposed solitude. It’s about when you want to run away from the world to be only with yourself because you’re tired of being present everywhere and everytime. When you want a little time just for you. But I’m also talking about the moments when you want to hide yourself from reality, because some people have hurt you or they’ve disappointed you. In both cases you crave to be alone to put order in your thoughts. To face your fears and get back to world as a new man.

Singurătatea – pe termen scurt – are beneficiile sale. Unele menționate şi de tine. Chiar îți este bine singur, în unele momente. Poate că singurătatea temporară încarcă bateriile. Totuşi, oamenii există pentru a iubi şi a socializa – asta-părerea mea, cu iubirea în pole position. Aşa că singuratatea trebuie să ramână în plan secund. Permanentizarea singuratății este un pericol real. Pentru oricine.

I wouldn’t call it lonely as much as being alone. I think there’s a big difference. I don’t feel lonely, but I love being alone.

Beautiful thoughts Monica! Loneliness invokes the deepest of thoughts and inspires self-realizations!
“Singurătatea ne permite să ne accesăm fricile și să vedem că armata fricii, cu soldații dezamăgirii și armele suferinței, pierd în fața batalionului fericirii, cu soldații iubirii și armele speranței.”

Thanks for acknowledging my appreciations, Monica! 🙂
I read it in English, but quoted it from the Romanian part. (I used Google translate to ensure I was quoting the right part) Actually I wanted to appreciate the original lines in which you would have framed that thought initially! 🙂
