  • Aging Alone

    Ever wondered who would you want to grow old with? Your friends, your siblings, your offsprings, your spouse?

    There is no dearth of options. As economies start aging, formalized old age resorts would be a viable option for those who can afford. Ofcourse state-run welfare programs rarely target this age group, except for retirement pension schemes which already weigh down the government’s balance sheet. But besides the maths and economics of it all, the social and psychological tangent is also an aspect to ponder. Would you be open to embracing new faces in your silver years?

    Or is it enough to have just I, me, myself for vibing and slaying these post-retirement years? So that you can spend time the way you want, structure your life around your own priorities and live unhinged. With great freedom may come greater loneliness, so be prepared to welcome the silence and the solitude as a blissful change in your life!

  • (Un) Social Butterfly

    There are the social butterflies.

    There are the anti-social loners.

    And then there are unsocial beings, who crave to be both but are neither.

    They enjoy company in discrete doses but also adore solitude in measured quantities.

    They are not the heart of the party nor the sore thumb sitting in a dark corner.

    They blend in and blend out with ease. Choosing to flutter, choosing to go into the cocoon – all by their own will and might 😎

  • Solitude

    I was raised to know solitude as a bad thing. The thing which makes you unhappy, makes others look down upon you and gets you stereotyped as an outcast.

    Stars don’t need company

    As a grown adult with a full time job and a kid to raise, I now realize solitude is golden. It is the calming factor which helps me stay grounded in reality. It is good as I can hear my own voice and go through my own thoughts to bring clarity and peace in my life.

  • Alone, and not lonely

    Yes there is a difference. & It’s not mere word play. Learn to enjoy the company of the most reliant, always available soul i.e. yourself and trust me, you’ll never feel lonely.

    Not being selfless doesn’t mean being selfish. There is an in between path too. It is one where everyone is equally important, no more, no less. Where everyone is entitled to exercise their choice, experience their freedom, love their dreams and guard their happiness. After all there is ample space for everyone in this universe, so if u can’t find some room for yourself,  nudge and make way buddy. You deserve it, have no doubt.

    Lastly, remember when no one’s around and you find yourself at loss of company, be sad not. This is the best time to go fulfill your bucket list. No better company than yourself would ever exist. So go ahead and aim for stars. Even if you miss, you’ll land at least on the moon. And that would be the silver lining of your dark cloud.

    I can do it alone. I must and I will. Make it your anthem, go make the most of your time on earth. 💪
