Ive been here before. Ive been through the waxing and waning desire to be independent, only to succumb to the allure of company and useless chit chat. But solitude is like running. It is a pain to get it started, but give it 20 minutes or so and the endorphins kick in and bliss engulfs you.
The time duration for lonliness' endorphins to kick varies from person to person. Some probably dont secrete it at all. But those do, can experience a lot in the state of bliss.
Once you wade through the cheap thrills of TV sitcoms and streamed movies, you push yourself to watch the gems - the TED talks, the BBC documentaries and world movies. And when you do, you curse yourself for not having done it sooner.
Lonliness allows you to separate what you really want to do and what you think people expect you to be doing. It allows you to fearlessly play hip-hop without a sense of impending ridicule by the hard-rock nuts. Who is to say that these nuts are not supporting a self-fulfilling cascade of glorification for the rock genre?!
Lonliness pushes you to appreciate how music and books fulfil life. How, as you turn each page, you grimace and react, and how the best HD TV in the world, your mind, projects the image in bright colored display. Lonliness reminds you of the songs you used to here long back and urges you to youtube it.
And as is customary, this is not a comprehensive list. However, one of the most important facets of lonliness is that it allows you to think about life, goals and the plan forward ... everyone needs it!
