Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.

I know I blogged this quote recently but I’m doing so again because this is so relevant to me and so many people I love right now.
As part of my attempts at ~self care~ I’m having quiet alone time with my journal every day. Usually I scoff at such things but really, it does make a big difference.
