Solitude.

"I like being alone. I like sitting next to all the craziness that is going on in my head, witnessing but not judging, in silence. Sometimes (if not all the time), I'm the happiest sitting on the curb outside Lenox coffee with an espresso on a Saturday morning, alone. I like being alone. I like the madness, the chaos, the exuberance of sifting through thought after difficult thought, alone. I'm not sad nor am I lonely -- I just want distance from it all.
