Harvesting Wisdom, As It Comes (2)
I’ve found a sanctuary called solitude in a world that doesn’t sleep. It is a place where rare and golden occurrences give me profound relief, allowing me
To breathe. Pause. Reflect. And just be.

Stepping away from the constant commotion doesn’t just clear my mind.
It uplifts my spirit. It rejuvenates me in ways I never thought possible.
It sharpens my focus on what truly matters.
Of course, being alone can sometimes be daunting, as no one is an island. Yet, these times of tranquillity have made me stronger in my ability to relate meaningfully to others when I am ready.
