When the children were younger, I had never quite had time alone. Now as they grow up, get married, go to work, I am getting my fair share of the alone time. Now, I kind of like my alone times.
How did I get to like being alone? I suppose it was just an evolution of being forced to get used to it and to learn to like it. I still remember not too long ago I never felt easy about having to spend the night alone in the house. Now that I am no longer afraid of it, I realized that it feels very empowering. And, my alone times allow me to have control over what I am doing and not having to adapt to other family members.
