Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with people, my boyfriend, my family, my friends. However, I also really value and enjoy spending time alone.

I need it. Having time to myself allows me to escape from the world just a little bit, relax and think about the day.

It's a time for self-care, whether it's doing a face mask, or even doing my eyebrows.

It's also time for me to watch my favorite movie or TV show and reflect on my day or week.

I remember sleep away camp was harder for me as I got older because I realized how much I needed and benefited from being alone sometimes.

Living in a cabin with 20 other girls, it was hard to find alone time for me to just be me.

To this day, I love just going to get a cup of coffee alone, going for a walk or even just laying in bed and thinking.

I don't know why or what it is about being alone, it just a nice addition to my day.
