The Lonely Number (18)

The number one is usually thought of as a lonely number. You’re by yourself you are alone. Mark Twain once said, “ The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with oneself.” I think that it’s absolutely true. If you’re not comfortable with whom you are then you’re not comfortable with being by yourself. You constantly are looking for affirmation from others. Obviously you have to be around people to receive confirmation for who you are. Personally being alone is a time of enjoyment. I may sound like a hermit but I like to be alone. I do enjoy being with people, but I find that when I’m alone I get so much more accomplished. Also it gives me time of quietness! Living in a girl’s dorm there’s not much of that! So when there’s peace and quiet it’s a wonderful. I always say silence is golden but duck tape is silver!
