If you don't, go take a look. But not right now, because you will start reading everything she has and forget to come back here. Oh, and be warned -- you will almost certainly be shocked at some point, and you will almost certainly laugh till coffee shoots out of your nose, so don't drink and read.
Anyway -- yesterday, on The Bloggess, I came across this video link.
This is a truly beautiful poem, How To Be Alone by Tanya Davis.
No, really -- watch.
I love being alone. For days at a time.
I love when the kids have gone to school, and the house is quiet, with no-one around but me; no TV or chatter, just me.
I love the nights when all I can hear are the waves on the beach, and frogs and crickets and cicadas in the summertime.
I love walking around town on my own, looking and not looking, shopping or not, just being and not worrying about anyone or anything.
I don't like crowds or hustle, they make me feel small and lost. I don't like The Big Smoke. I like Beachtown. I love my friends but I love being by myself.
But I still miss Fabio.
I like being alone. Anywhere. Even in a crowd.

ReplyDeleteThe Doctors possible love interest, she keeps popping in and out of the show and she's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am not so good at 'alone'. In my world it doesn't happen very often, which is probably a good thing, but I tend to crave company. I do love the Blogess though. She is hysterical!
