>It is a difficult thing to withraw away, alone, somewhat isolated, with little “entertainment” or social connection – I love it and I hate it. I find my insecurity & restlessness compounded – it’s “me, myself & I” but I also discover loves that often get buried within the hub-bub of everyday life.
I think it is quite something to truly learn to be content with oneself. Where distractions are removed you come face to face with who you truly are (if you allow it). You are forced to spend time with yourself – it is rather an oddity!
At times I find myelf quite content, with a book in hand or just watching the view and the life of the countryside. On the adverse side I check my mobile phone, just in case there is a message, or I fiddle around the house somewhat directionless…I’m tempted to have a peek into Facebook, and waste some hours on there. However, I know that such “activity” will produce within me a sense of frustration and discontent… I eventually settle down once more – tuning into the message of my book.
Yep…a mixed day, but I figure that’s alright…I am human afterall?!?
