I found this poem and thought it was brilliant. I have never had a problem with being along - I'm too much like my father, but many people don't like the sound of silence or their own company. It's ok to be alone and there is a lot that can be experienced and learned by just you - alone. Don't fear it and see it as a chance to work on you. The freedom to explore and try new things is priceless.
"Society is afraid of alone though...."
"take yourself out dancing to a club where no one knows you. stand on the outside of the floor until the lights convince you more and more and the music shows you. Dance like nobody's watching cause they're probably not. The way bodies move genuinely to beats is after all gorgeous and affecting. Dance until you're sweating and beads of perspiration remind you of life's best things...down your back like a brook of blessings."
"Go to an unfamiliar city, roam the streets, there are always statues to talk to and benches made for sitting give strangers a shared existence if only for a minute. These moments can be so uplifting and the conversations you get in... might have never happened had you not been there by yourself."
"'Cause if you are happy in your head then solitude is blessed and alone is ok."
