Writer's Block (It's Not Good To Be Alone)

I think this is the second time that I've written a blog with nothing in particular on my mind. Due to the nature of this blog, I don't find this to be a particularly bad thing though.

Maybe a bit boring for some people though.


I find myself to be a bit overwhelmed with a number of huge thought projects right now. During these times, I often refresh my mind by just looking around and making some observations of the world around me. This is one of them.

Do you know that whenever you see people sitting alone, they're doing something with a phone?

I talked with a few friends about this and I posted a status of it on Facebook, just curious as to why they thought this happens. A number of people said that people do not like to be alone, so that is why they often busy themselves with their phone. They're probably right, but as a person who is some-of-the-time extremely introverted, I found myself a bit perplexed with their response. I very much enjoy being alone some-of-the-time. 


Though, when I think about it, if there were no one who loved me, I think I would be very miserable. I love spending time by myself some-of-the-time, but I've begun to realize that I am not alone in these times. Outside of my cave of silence and solitude I know that I am cared for and loved, and I care for and love others when I  am by myself. 


I think people have their phone's out a lot of the time because they need to constantly be in communication to feel this. I wonder if that is because these loves are not secure for them.

I find that some of the best times I have had with people were when I was just lying or sitting with them, saying either nothing of importance or nothing at all, and just mutually grinning. People have a presence about them that is more than what they say or what they do. At least I think they do.

I think you've found a good friend when you don't need to talk to them to know you are loved. You talk because you love them instead of because you want them to love you. When you are secure enough in your relationships that you can sit alone and not be texting.

But this is just an observation, and I can easily be wrong. After all, I do text my friends, but I hope it is because I want to enjoy them more instead of because I want them to keep me from feeling lonely. I hope it's because I just like them.
