Isolation

 

Does isolation comfort you?

So much so that you feel overwhelmed when you're around people. 

I never really understood why as a child, I preferred being locked up in a room with my stuff rather than being out playing in my neighborhood. 

Just me in my space doing my thing.

As an adult, I continue to do so, but not as often. 

I've forced myself to socialize to the extent that society approves. Tbh it's exhausting, but I try. 

Not because I need to, but if I didn't, the fear of being left alone when in need scares me. 

I sometimes wish to paddle away into the woods and never come back. 

Maybe I'll find my solace in there somewhere. 

Do you feel the same?
