The Quest (ion) of Solitude

 "If you are at first lonely, be patient. If you've not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren't okay with it, then just wait. You'll find it's fine to be alone once you're embracing it."



In our world, alone is associated with unwanted. 
As long as people succumb to meet our society's prerequisite for acceptance, 
How can things change?
Even the ones who thrive in the solitude,
 strive for companionship.
Not for any kind of gratification, 
but  for the validation of their desirability
How can anyone truly enjoy the freedom in loneliness, 
when they are scared of the stares and presumptions?
In my world, wanting to be alone,
is wrong.
A good girl, doesn't need to sit alone.
Unless she is sad,depressd, or god forbid!,
Trying to hide something.
But how can solitude and happiness,
 be mutually exclusive?
That change from feeling dejected for being lonely ,
to finding solace in solitude, 
is what we are searching for.
