Sometimes it’s not that I want to be alone, it’s that I need to be.
I need to hear nothing but my own thoughts, to hear my body breathing to remind myself that there is blood flowing through these veins.
To be able to sink back into my mind and have a conversation that doesn’t exhaust me because it’s only with myself.
Sometimes.
I just need to be me.
