Hi, Pi...
I guess on one level I'm lonely, since I don't get out and try t o alleviate it. On another level, however, I'm consciously secluding myself in an attempt for self-awareness, regaining my identity (or building it solidly), and simply choose to be alone, pursuing my own interests here at home.
I'm rather selfish of my solitude right now, enjoying it, rather than focusing on other people, which I've done all my life to the exclusion of pursuing my advanced degree in Fine Art. Now I'm doing that, and it's good for me.
Patty
