lonely growth

Often, we find ourselves unable to find those other rare individuals who are choosing the same path as ours. The path of sloppy and lazy is full of other people to meet and talk to. The path of whiners is full. The path of being safe, generic, and boring is so crowded you almost cannot even move forward. Isn’t that why you left that path? You had a need to move forward, a need for some elbowroom, a need to spread your arms wide, a need to be seen as special, unique, different. The masses may admire you, but they are not going to be able to really relate to you. You will be alone much of the time.

I don’t regret those times of loneliness at all. Through loneliness I’ve learned the beauty and wealth and necessity of solitude, and I’ve learned to be able to do many things on my own that many people would love to be able to do.
