There is a colossal difference between being “lonely” and being “alone”. As I grow older, I become more aware of this fact. Being alone is merely a state of physical isolation, but emotional fulfillment. Me being an extrovert with introvert tendencies, I often make the conscious decision to be alone. I consider it an opportunity to socially recharge and further pursue my personal interests. Sometimes, I feel as though I can’t fully be myself with others. When I’m alone, I’m the truest version of myself, and that makes me happiest. Now, being “lonely” is a terrible tragedy and has nothing to do with the number of people you are surrounded by. It is a state of mind; feeling as though you have nobody there, despite being in a room with perhaps seventy-three people. I would much rather be physically void of company than emotionally lonesome.
