Most of us have at
least once came across the quote- Solitude is bliss. And according to me, yes
it is.
“My solitude doesn't depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.” Fredrick Nietzsche.
It can be blissful to just be with oneself and feel good to not talk to anyone about anything at times. It could be called being alone. Being alone isn’t a bad thing. It’s a good, necessary, healthy thing. It’s a time to reflect, to appreciate, to think, to create, to process your life. ; I like to refer to it as solitude because it is a means of reconnecting with oneself by disconnecting from the outside world for some time. We rarely have time for ourselves due to our hectic lives and work schedules.
Each and everyone have their individual hopes, dreams and desires. The time we spend in solitary activities such as reading, writing, walking or listening to music. Just taking some time out and trying to spend some lone time with my own self. There is always so much to learn when you sit all by yourself. This is the moment when nobody is passing you any judgements, where there are no comparisons, where you do not need to be better than somebody else and where there is no horse race. This is your time – Self time. You can find yourself in solitude and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with being by yourself is the power of Solitude.
It is so very important at times to take a moment to just – Be Still.
In times of solitude, you are able to do just that.
I am knowing my own self in my solitude. I am doing what I am liking. There are no restrictions on my thoughts. They are free to flow like rivers in any directions. There is enough time to spend with my soul. To me, enjoying the moments of blissful solitude enables me to cherish those moments with the ones I love. Let me sit all by myself. Feeling the vibes of my own aura. Sensing the calmness of my own thoughts.
Oftentimes when I am alone, I play serene, soothing music. I love to fill the air with a wonderful fragrance. . I love to do paintings. It boosts my creativity .I love to create an atmosphere for myself of beauty that fills all the senses. It makes me Away from the hush of the brain and listening to the sweet melancholy of my heart. Let me be my own self .While I enjoy Listening to the soft music, I am feeling heaven on earth again. Let me see the greens of the plants and the blueness of the skies. Let me sit all by myself with my thoughts or sit with my favourite book or pour my feelings down on paper or simply sit doing nothing,. I can take a long walk or fly high in the extremes of my thoughts or dive deep into the depths of my feelings. But I will listen to whatever my heart says.
Solitude is a positive state, as it’s not withdrawing or going away from others and society. It is immersing into your being. The philosophy is expressed beautifully in the song Solitude is Bliss by Tame Impala. It goes:
Space around me where my soul can breathe
I’ve got body but my mind can leave
Nothing else matters, I don’t care what I miss
Company’s okay, Solitude is bliss…
Embrace your moments of solitude.that can be blissful and can be poetical. In my solitude my heart fills with pleasure and dances with the daffodils as William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a cloud.You can find yourself in solitude and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with being by yourself.
