The best journeys in life I feel are the ones you take with yourself.
I always tell people I do not like convertibles because they look funny. I would rather have a four-door car. Not because I have numerous friends I would adore taking road trips with, but I would just love having all that space to myself. So I can be with myself, and have the ability to put food in the back seat.
I want all my thoughts to be comfortable.
My right-hand man… imagination.. and the others…
It sounds cheesy now that I think about it.
But it is true.
We have all heard the obvious statements about solitude. It is the only time you can have conversations with yourself, and nobody will judge you for it. It is beautiful because the results are raw, the results are you. The results have no influence.
I carry all my thoughts in the back seat, and trust me when all your thoughts are alive, it is never lonely or quiet. Each voice wants to be heard. Point is I am never alone, and I have always liked it that way.
Take some time to listen to your own voice. To hear what YOU have to say.
It took an entire change of scenery where I had no friends or family to get to know myself. It was a difficult process that I never decided to go through when I was at home because I was always surrounded by people.
There is power in solitude.
Identity in solitude.
Focus in solitude.
And once you get to hear your voice speak before you make a decision that everyone seems to have an opinion about, then you have achieved freedom.
