On solitutde

I am experiencing a rare solitude break. As an Indian female ( especially of my gen) I have rarely been actually alone at any point of time. Safety in numbers was the theme in practice then and until now. School- journey to and fro in a school bus; college - always surrounded. Then came marriage and raising family.. And there was never any 'solitude break'. I too grew up and older thinking being alone isn't fun. Till now.
I approached solitude on tip toes. I began to finally 'listen' to myself. I got productive during this period. I am now wallowing in it.
Solitude also teaches the value of company. I am looking forward to noisier times ahead. But give me a solitude break any time!!!
