As a person raised in a large family, I have had to learn the art of being alone in solitude, even when I was not alone. I visit this video occasionally and each time take away a new meaning and appreciation for her words. But lonely is a freedom that breaths easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it.” “Society is afraid of alonedom, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if, after a while, nobody is dating them. You’ll find it’s fine to be alone once you’re embracing it.” If you’ve not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren’t okay with it, then just wait.

I have some poem excerpts and thoughts below. This week, I want to share a five minute video by poet Tanya Davis, called “How to Be Alone.” Her message is beautiful, relevant (to both genders), and the graphics of the video make it enjoyable and easy to watch.
