Moments with myself! ππ
Good morning, friends, today I wake up with an immense mood to talk, and what better way to connect with you than sharing a little bit of me, because this is such an appropriate space to look for inspiration, motives and encouragement to have a happy life, and in the moments that are not, to look for the necessary reasons to move forward. Sharing with you my moments of loneliness and my reflection on it can be of help to free my ideas and so that perhaps someone else feels identified, because the moments of loneliness are undoubtedly a Pandora's box, or for many double-edged knife, so I take advantage that I am inspired and encouraged to share.
I remember many years ago, in a philosophy class, the professor was expressing his ideas and knowledge, and he was talking about the origin of words. I remember he had a list, and one of them was SOLITUDE. There were others that I thought were more striking, but ironically this is the one I remember the most. And he said several things about this word, and I remember him saying that this word derives from βsolusβ, which means βaloneβ; I only remember that, obviously, he said a lot more, but at the time it didn't make any sense to me. Now it not only makes sense, but it took on meaning and ownership in my life, and that has been in my case satisfying.
Loneliness, I can infer, is a complex and multifaceted human experience. It is not simply being physically alone, but rather a feeling of emotional and social disconnection. Loneliness can have both negative and positive effects on a person's life. On the one hand, it can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, it can also be an opportunity for introspection, self-knowledge, and personal growth. Loneliness is a subjective experience that can vary greatly from person to person, and its impact depends on how it is faced and managed. In my experience, it has been positive in many moments; it has allowed me to take time for myself, to think more objectively about my obligations and plans, to breathe a little from the multiple obligations, and to think freely and frivolously, which is really necessary. It is not only to think deeply and analytically; sometimes just thinking about how beautiful the walls of the place where I am allows me to defocus from other absurd thoughts and free myself. Moments of solitude have also allowed me to feel bad, alone, and bad, but that is necessary and normal, and I accept it and try to understand it, but having moments in solitude above all allows me to be in a complete state and without labels of "mother," "daughter," "migrant," or "worker." It just allows me to be me, and I love that.
Solitude can be a valuable space for personal growth and emotional well-being, and if it's not, that's also valid. I also believe that bad times are natural and necessary, but remember that when your solitude suffocates you and becomes unbearable, seek professional help, because sometimes solitude is not the best company and you are not alone.
Thank you for reading this short piece, thank you for the support, and I'm grateful for this space to express my deepest feelings, because talking about them is a way of life, necessary and healing. Thank you very much, and have a wonderful day.
