I have a somewhat philosophical take on it. Samajh mein nahi aaya toh feel free to read, roll your eyes and skip to the next post. ❤️
The way I see it, we're all bound by our daily obligations that require us to set ourselves aside to get things done. When we're out in the world, at work, hanging out with friends, at school, etc., every single action and reaction to others that we put out there add up to how we are perceived as a person by others. In that process, we oftentimes tend to lose ourselves cuz our interactions might not necessarily be in tune with how we envisage ourselves as a person and how we perceive our inner sense of *self.*
We would have nothing left if we were only giving and giving our energy to the world without taking the time to sit and reflect to connect with ourselves, reconciling our actions with our core values and what we strive to be as a person on the whole. So, solitude is important to sit and be able to rethink things, reflect, do things that feed your inner sense of "self" without anyone or anything interfering you ... and that usually leads you to strive for a better tomorrow so that how you operate in the real world aligns as close to your inner self as possible.
Solitude is not being alone or feeling lonely when you're craving company. I hope you see where I'm coming from. :)
