(Until now, for me.) I always heard that the vibe of having people around you (who you don't have to interact with, BONUS) is great for inspiring creativity, and this is true! I know I will be back to my coffee shop soon. Maybe even this afternoon?! Caffeine plus the happy buzz of people talking and enjoying themselves is a great background for writing. <br /><br />Even though I'm an introvert I love people, and I would get too lonely if I couldn't have some human connection throughout the day. I have 16 hours of daily alone-time currently, that's enough!<br />Approaching people is a skill that can be learnt, and the more you exercise it, the easier it gets. I guess if you're desperate enough (like I am), you'll do it haha!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-84384044372965505362018-08-15T08:59:27.740-07:002018-08-15T08:59:27.740-07:00I've been thinking of you a LOT these last few...I've been thinking of you a LOT these last few days! I'm slow living for sure (time is passing much slower than it is at home), and I consciously try to make the most of it. It's an effort every day, but the payoff is worth it!<br />Having my fictional (and real!) friends with me in spirit or on the screen is a tremendous help. <br />And knowing that you can hack it alone? Priceless!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-63214627943316066202018-08-14T13:09:29.873-07:002018-08-14T13:09:29.873-07:00It sounds like your first week went well.

I like the photo of the river; what a wonderful place to sit and relax. I've always dreamed of going to a coffee shop to sit and write but I have yet to do it. Maybe one day soon.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878149675832228998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-61307290553546202462018-08-14T10:33:27.250-07:002018-08-14T10:33:27.250-07:00Great job sinking into all of your moments + simpl...Great job sinking into all of your moments + simply being present! What a fabulous blog of all the realness of feeling the loneliness and the joy of breaking out and being on your own. And those characters that you connect with + the ways you connect with them.... damn, I am so with you. That made a world of sense to me! xoxoLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471476965055071485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-8433367369208543032018-08-14T09:58:14.092-07:002018-08-14T09:58:14.092-07:00It has!

It's a very good learning experience to be happy on your own, a lesson all of us have to learn in order to be truly fulfilled. When you're in a long-term relationship, it's too easy to make the other person responsible for your happiness, and that's not fair to that person.

That is just something I guess I've never put into words that way, but it's so true and such a big thing.
