How many times have I been told To "go out and meet people," As if I were a stranger Whose heart was filled with guile. But I am not a stranger, I am one of you. I have my own thoughts and feelings, My own hopes and dreams. I do not need to go out and meet people To feel fulfilled. I can find fulfillment in my own company. I do not need to be surrounded by people To feel happy. I can find happiness in my own solitude. So, please, do not tell me to "go out and meet people." I am perfectly content with my own company.

Society, Emily Dickinson.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words. - Carl Jung
