The freedom of solitude comes with its drawbacks. Despite being able to live as you please, untamed and raw. There are still things that hurt you. Your heart can still hurt even with no responsibilities or beings around you.
Sometimes being with yourself can still cause you harm. Creating scenarios in your mind where you are destined to be hurt, scenarios that never come to be, but they still hurt you as if they were real. Once you run out of scenarios your brain can sometimes choose to make you relive embarrassing or hurtful moments. Almost as if feeling distressed is a normal resting place for your mind.
Being alone with yourself should be a safe place. A nice retreat, not an imaginary hellscape of paranoia.
Being alone with yourself should be your peace. Being in your mind should be a safe place.
