Alone, but not lonely, originally uploaded by: elijah
Is it just me?
I know what they say people need people but I am happy when I’m alone with my thoughts. I find myself sometimes just staring into nowhere and just loving it.
As human beings, we all move towards to something which is familiar. It’s a natural instinct to seek out familiar things because we are comfortable with them – be they people, places, or things. Even with our feelings.
But why is that, that other people dares to be an expert in giving such advices, “oh, it’s never too late, you should find someone, meet someone, make plans whenever possible”. Sure, it’s tough to meet new people. A lot of us have anxiety about appearing in front of a stranger wearing only a smile.
How lonely can you be being alone?
I am very comfortable with who I am, my values, my morals, my sense of humor, my hobbies, etc. but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times I get lonely wanting someone to touch, to laugh WITH, to work WITH to share life WITH. Sometimes, it is better to be your own companion rather that with a crowd. I enjoy these times that I am on my own. And I don’t think it’s the age thing. It has to do with how comfortable with yourself, and partially your upbringing and what you are used to.
My life can go in cycles, I might want to just sit in my room and listen to music one day. Another day I might absolutely need to get together with my friends or just to talk on the phone. We all need companionship sometimes, but sometimes we are in a place in our lives when we need a little solitude too.
Heck I don’t even need to close my own bathroom door when I’m alone. So, what’s wrong being single but comfortable?

K lives in Hong Kong, who loves music, homes & architectures, movie trailers and all things . My life in this city project a lot of things - it’s all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.
I have a roommate now in Quebec, and I like him. We are both pretty quiet. We study a lot and watch reruns of Rome from time to time.

I totally agree. Sometimes I’d rather be alone too, yung walang maingay na nanggugulo. Hindi naman loner, it’s just that it’s nice to have some time with yourself…listening to music and just reflecting on your life. It’s really nice to have friends to hang-out with sometimes, but not everyday. And just want to tell you not to worry about being alone for now, you’ll meet that someone someday…believe in destiny!
PS: Na-record ko na rin yung “In my life” na request mo! =)
Diane, fingers crossed, and hope for the better. I often believe when ask for something, we do not receive an answer right away. The fact is that someone out there above us listens all the time so you know, I am just waiting for that ’signs’.
Eventually, I enjoyed your In My Life version, care to give me the mp3 minus-one for that?

you know how it is in pinoy cultures that elders keep asking if you have a bf/gf even if they already asked like 2 minutes ago. hehe. but i say, bahala sila.
Hahaha, I noticed that too. Perhaps the questions literally explains, “send us an invitation sa kasal”. Kailangan lahat kasali, diba? Whatevs!
I think if you’re in HK living near the busy district, even if you live alone, you’d never feel like bored and alone, di na kailangan mag drive to buy your meal if you’re lazy to cook.
