I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people:

that each protects the solitude of the other.
~rainer maria rilke

it is okay if no one believes like you. all experience is unique.

dance until you’re sweating and beads of perspiration remind you of life’s best things. the way bodies move genuinely to beats is, after all, gorgeous and affecting.

go to an unfamiliar city and roam the streets.

lonely is a freedom that breathes easy and weightless. lonely is healing if you make it.

if your family doesn’t get you or a religious sect is not meant for you, don’t obsess about it.

if you’re happy in your head, then solitude is blessed and alone is okay.

these moments can be so uplifting and the conversations you get in by sitting alone on benches might have never happened had you not been there by yourself.
