Everyone knows what solitude is, but I try to put my point here: It's a state of being alone not lonely. Though it looks similar to the outside world, there is a huge difference between the both. Enjoying our own company without external entertainments and dependencies is solitude whereas missing someone else's company or depending on other stuff is loneliness. In brief, solitude is a choice and loneliness is by force.
Sometimes I like to be in solitude. At that point of time, I practice meditation or just sit in silence or I talk to myself as if I am my own best friend or have a cup of coffee. It helps me to connect with my inner self. Our inner self is what we actually are, not the personality we carry. Personality means a mask, we choose to project to the outside world and it depends upon our ego. Inner self depends on our consciousness. Connection with inner self favors me to understand my being better and aids to improve my perceptions. That makes me feel and experience the true joy. This refreshment forges me to align with life, radiate love and peace.
" You are born alone. You die alone. The value of the space in between is trust and love."
~ Louise Bourgeois
