I'm having ice-cream right now. Life's good. (Y)

As I strolled down Orchard Road tonight, I realized that there's a distinction with choosing to spend time alone and being lonely. Spending time alone does not necessarily means that I'm lonely. Take today for example. I had work in the morning, then lunch with my colleagues and cuzzie. After that it was alone time with my ipod. For five hours. Did some shopping and a lot of walking. It was awesome. (Y)

There were times where I was hardly ever alone, yet I felt lonely. But what I felt today was sheer bliss. Happy to be alone for a while. Not that I don't enjoy being around people. I do, at lot actually. How can we be happy if we don't interact with people, right? But we need to be alone once in a while as well. To think. To reflect. I tried to collect my thoughts. I tried to unfold all the complications of my somewhat busy and distracted life. On my own. A life in which there is no time to be alone with myself is not appealing at all.

I think we have to deal with both extremes to feel fully human and engaged. We've all been hoodwinked into thinking that when we're around people, we're not lonely.
