Solitude chose me.


I am alone a majority of the time. It is joyous to see people together, but it doesn't give me hope anymore. Nobody, even when I had partners, wanted to enjoy the simple things together with me.

It's sad, but simultaneously a relief to not care anymore. Years have gone by, so many miles on my feet and breathtaking beauty I've experienced by myself.

I thought I was giving up but it's not like a happy surprise wouldn't be a dream come true, I don't have those dreams anymore though. I have accepted I am too strange to be part of human interaction and togetherness. I'm not welcome at anyone's table and it was never a matter of what I deserve(d). I just don't belong.

My life as I know it now started as a happy surprise. I was content being alone, even preferred it most of the time. There is something to be said about experiencing life on your own terms without having to worry about someone else. My solitude was a gift I wasn’t willing to give away to just anyone.

There is always room at my table for you.

@SwampFlower I don't mind the solitude and I am very selective who I share my magic with, just, I didn't ask to be this alone. I couldn't even turn to anyone if I needed to... Quality time together is an impossibility I wish my son wasn't stuck with as well. But alas, nothing I can do about it.
