Sometimes it’s necessary to learn how to be alone. Aloneness makes you more creative and happier. When you’re alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things. Aloneness makes us away from the world’s ideas. Picasso wouldn’t have created the famous art if they hadn’t taken enough solitary (独自的) time.

Being alone also prevents you from trouble. Sometimes you may wonder why you easily feel tired. One reason could be not giving yourself enough solitary time. Especially for people who work every day, it is easy to feel very tired when they have to deal with too much work, family, and their own emotion (情绪) at the same time. How about giving yourself a few solitary moments? It doesn’t matter how you choose to spend those moments alone. As long as they relieve your pressure (压力), they’re worthwhile.

Studying yourself is perhaps the biggest advantage of aloneness. When you take time to understand yourself, find your personal growth, and follow your dreams.

Being alone makes you a more creative person and helps with personal growth. So take the advice and spend some time alone today and take the time to become a brighter and better person.
