Embracing Solitude for Creativity

Sitting alone by the river at sunset became my ritual after realizing I'd rather sketch

strangers' laughter than force myself into conversations that drain me. Watching those friends

on the path, I used to feel left out, but now I understand solitude isn't loneliness.

It's where my creativity breathes. Some souls recharge in crowds, mine recharges here,

capturing moments instead of living in them. And honestly, I've never felt

more myself than when I stopped apologizing for needing this space.
