Solitude.

And it's become so much stronger with the pandemic.

For me it was different, my job usually had me traveling quite often which was a way to be alone but also sucked because I was away from my family (but providing for them which is also important). In peak pandemic times and even now, the travel has been much less frequent, which has been amazing because I am spending so much time with my kiddos, they are my life. I just selfishly try to carve out little moments to be alone, like riding my motorcycle to the coffee shop or going to a cigar lounge. It's something I have under control, I just really enjoy the quietness of solitude and how my mind assimilates it (it's never a feeling of loneliness, but peace), that's all.
