LEAVE ME ALONE DAMMIT!!

I have a question....Why do people assume that to be by yourself you must be turning into some lonely weirdo who's about to give up on life and only befriend the thousand and one flea and tick infested stray cats that you allow to live under your bed? Or they think you must be so depressed and lonely, so much so that your friends call and drop unexpectedly like they're on some sort of suicide watch or something. You half expect to walk into your house one day and see your friends and family, plus some stranger you've never seen before, sitting in a circle in your living room like they're gonna do and intervention or something. "First of all", your sister says through tears, "we all want you to know that we love you..." Oh hell to the naw!

Now I do understand that most people only have your best interest at heart but geeze!! Give it a rest already.
Really though, we all need to spend some quality time alone from time to time. Maybe if more people did this we'd have less insanity in the world.
We spend way too much time not listening to ourselves and far too much time investing our energies in what other people think of us.
Spending time alone allows you to get to know the real you, celebrate the good and work on the bad.
Sometimes it's only through spending time alone that you grow. Your not distracted by the outside world and are able to reconnect with who you are.
That said, Im gonna end now so that I can go and feed my cats.
Latah!
