In my school days, I saw the majority of students tend to gather up. Whenever they needed to go to the bathroom, a group of 3-4 students gathered up and went there together. During the lunch time, they gathered up.
I was not like that. I know I am a weirdo. I remember I didn’t feel lonely whenever I was alone in my school days. I had some good friends and I was not spending time alone all the time. But once in a while, I needed my alone time. And I never felt lonely in my alone time.
I took my alone adventure when I was 11 years old. I attended a camp in another town where was far away from my house, all by myself. I never felt scared or lonely because I knew I could make many friends with new people there. Since then, I have enjoyed my alone adventure going here and there. I used to enjoy going to the theaters, museums, and aquariums, alone. I had enjoyed my alone trip within Japan and foreign counties.
When I go somewhere alone, I can attract the people whose energies fit to mine. That is the biggest reason why I love my alone adventure.
There are another benefits to take alone adventure. We can take our time in our favorite situations. When we see the beautiful sunrise, we can spend as much time as we want. When we watch a movie and feel like crying, we can do so without feeling embarrassed to our company. We can easily change our plan based on our gut feelings, without negotiating with our company. The bottom line is we can stay being ourselves in our alone adventure.
Let’s enjoy our alone adventures from time to time. We might find something unexpected and it will be fun.
