This.

Sometimes the world feels like it's collapsing. This is when you take your "aloneness" for granted and you don't have the balance of some semblance of connection with others. My circle is too small, and underused.

I spend too much time alone, and it is wasted in fretful rumination. Of course there is more at play than just being alone. But that's another topic. I value time alone; I need it. However, I think I've become overindulgent, and now the time slips by, wasted.

I wish I were more like Tanya Davis.
