3 years ago, I lived alone for about a year and I remember how lonely and sad I felt at times just me and my cat. I just kept telling myself "you just want what you don't have" and looking back it's so true. Being around others 24/7 is a double-edged sword. I often miss the blissful solitude and peace. My only regret is that I ended the solitude too quickly.
That's awesome that you and your friend moved to Seattle together without being there for either of you. It's so much fun moving to a city and one you've never been to before!
Lovely video to listen to while I paint in my studio here in Chicago. I've been here 4 months with many deaths and rebirths in this season of life. I initally tried to reach out and connect while neglecting to fully heal, this was a great reminder to honor the season that I'm in and take the time to be introspective and quiet - especially in the winter, to prepare for meaningful connection and health in the future! Best of luck to you!
You know, it's amazing to hear someone say they "hugged" themselves in solitude and then say it was amazing, as a positive thing ofc. I'm currently in my "season" of solitude and if there's one thing I don't think about it's hugging myself. I mean, I'm an only child, I'm used to being alone since I was very young, my parents worked a lot etc. The last thing I want is to prolong the solitude and not only that, I don't feel like hugging myself because there's nothing that confirms my value as a person in solitude, it's a constant monologue. I can't just validate myself, it's like a student correcting and passing his own exam. You need love, and another human being to be able to hug and also to be able to hug yourself afterwards. Solitude is diabolical when it's prolonged, you only talk to yourself and convincing yourself in solitude that you're valuable or beautiful or whatever seems like a neurotic or dissociative attitude? Sorry in advance if I used the terms incorrectly. I value my solitude a lot when I have company, even at times. I enjoy my solitude when I know it will be cut off. But when it is prolonged, it is frankly impossible to get anything good out of it for me. At the same time, prolonged solitude begins to generate paranoid thoughts that make it feel increasingly difficult to get out of the tunnel because you think: Okay, every day I feel worse, every day that passes I have less chances of reintegrating into society and being loved... blah blah I have appreciated the beauty of nature in solitude and I have also cried out of sadness thinking that I would like to share that moment with someone. And I have also looked at the sky wondering if this was my destiny, or what I should do to get out of this place. Anyway, thank you for sharing this, and don't be afraid, no one will hurt you here or make hateful comments of any kind about you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand & respect your perspective on solitude. I believe there are moments of time in our life where we are called into solitude and it is essential for our growth. Different seasons for different reasons. I pray you’re gentle with yourself!🤍
This seasonal sadness has hit me pretty hard last month. And now this time of solitude has really pushed me to my limits. I enjoy being alone but would like some company. Someone to talk to, maybe even a lover or two. But I'm just alone surrounded by family and friends
Your words brought me to tears. You have a really clear headed understanding of what is required for growth. I admire you, your grace, and I hope you experience beauty and contentment in 2025.
Old man here. We r all bottomless voids. The more one is consumed with one’s self, the more miserable that person becomes. Escapeyhroughsacrificingforothers
I appreciate your perspective! I personally do not believe we are all bottomless voids. However, I do appreciate the statement that being consumed with one’s self can lead to misery.
Solitude is something you choose, loneliness is something you don't. Solitude or loneliness are necessary sometimes, they're steps to something better in your life. So is up to you to extract the best of them.
I absolutely never use youtube and your video was the first to show up on my homepage, so glad I watched. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing these words! You have a beautiful aura and I am absolutely certain that this period of solitude will serve your highest good in the end. I know that mine did :) Wishing you the best and looking forward to following your journey
Lovely and very feminine lady with intelligent thoughts. A true joy to listen to. Here, for you: ❤😄. I would gladly befriend you in person if I lived over there in Seattle. Have a great day! 🥂😄 … Also, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, I think you have a well-developed spiritual side or compass. That’s why you can feel and appreciate the connection with nature. 💜
yt is my favorite platform too I don't even have any other social media except for reddit, and discord if that counts instead of being self conscious though you should be more concerned about being sure when you turn on your camera there is nothing on camera that will dox you to strangers there are a lot of weirdos out there so be safe and keep that in mind sorry to be a downer anyway best of luck on your journey sounds like learning to appreciate solitude and enjoy the little things in life
Sorry, but you have that one in a million combination of a nice personality and being crazy hot. Dont let the big city destroy you. Simple life is so much more rewarding and you still have your soul left.
But that is the biggest problem of being lonely in the first place, you. I've grown up in the village but born in the big city, I've always wanted to live in the city. Mainly because of way more people more places to go out etc etc... Funny part is the closer I got to 18 the less I wanted it, if I think about it right now, living in the big city, HELL NO. You always look towards what you don't have and make it seem like that is the solution to all your problems. But it is not, and only if you can live with yourself alone, you can be with other people. You first gotta accept yourself before you can have real fun with other people.
Find your passion and attack it. Don't worry about what others think. Get super focused and use your time wisely. As far as Seattle goes - it is a very crappy environment. I lived in Redmond for 5 years and saw Seattle turn into a very unproductive environment. There should be no heaviness of thought in your mind. Don't overthink shit. Get out of that city and go to a rural area. I am a Sigma male and you need to reevaluate the journey the journey you are on.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m actually really enjoying exploring what Seattle has to offer. I think there are pockets of beauty everywhere. I’m quite content with my journey :) Be well!

Great message. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you so much!
Solitude, independence and kindness is the new foundation of love, become one with your shadow and let it dance in the dark.
Yes🖤
Solitude is a necessary foundation to truly appreciate human connection in the long run.
SOLITUDE HAS HELPED MY GROWTH SO MUCH
Yes!
That's awesome that you and your friend moved to Seattle together without being there for either of you. It's so much fun moving to a city and one you've never been to before!
Yes, it really is. Thank you!

Don’t be sad friend, I have been in solitude for 27 years of my life.
The most controversial statement of 2024:
"Men want women because men cannot live alone. Women need to be given a reason to be with men."

yt is my favorite platform too

just trying to look out
insecurity is fine...but concentrate it on things that matter imo

Is it solitude if you share it?
But that is the biggest problem of being lonely in the first place, you.

Solitude? But you are posting on RUclips
The 1st rule of RUclips is: tight and/or low-cut shirts.
