Comfortable in my corner

It’s not like I never feel lonely.
I really like being alone, but then catch myself craving company – but only the kind that feels “right”.

I hear people talk about all their plans.
Vacations, weekends, dinners, drinks. I used to have more plans too.
But the truth is, I don’t really like plans.
I hate appointments, and plans can feel like that.

When I do spend time with people, I only want it to feel easy.
No buildup. No pressure. No heightened expectations. Just time together.

I wonder if we all ask that question after?: “Was that fun?”

For me, It’s such a relief when the answer is “yes” – when everyone laughs and lingers.

That actually makes me want to make more plans.
But when it’s not? I carry that awkward feeling that I could have made it more fun.

Maybe stronger and longer than anyone else I know.

I really like to be alone.
Maybe too much these days.
Not because I don’t like people –
I do.

But I crave real connection.
I just love it when it clicks.

For me, being alone but not lonely
beats lonely together – Any day!
