Solitude is the best! Being in a social gathering is exhausting mentally and physically. I have to psych myself up to attend a gathering. The next 2 days after are spent recuperating!

My GOD, do I ever resonate with this post. I've always been an introvert (like, I'd stay home from high school basketball games to write), and though during college and my crazy 20s I went a little nuts and was out all the time, I have totally and completely embraced my introversion in my late 40s. I'll be 50 next year. I'm divorced, and broke up with my long-term boyfriend earlier in the year, and have decided I will never, ever, EVER live with a man again. I crave my solitude and my space and I NEED IT like I need water to live. I'm entering my "no fucks given" phase of my life and I absolutely love it.
