A Few Moments With Myself

Each and every member of my family leaves bed around 5 a.m.in the morning.It is the time when I am with my family members.They talk to me,I talk to them.
At 9 a.m.I leave for my office.There I live with my colleagues.We talk to each other,crack jokes and sometimes at lunch hour debate with each other.
In the late afternoon I live with my friends.
I like all this.I love my parents and sisters,my colleagues and my friends.
But sometimes I want to live with myself,talk to and debate with myself.Sometimes I yearn for moments when I am alone.I yearn for some moments to talk to myself, appreciate or criticise myself for something good or bad I have done,to enjoy some of my feelings I can't share with anybody else.
Do you sometimes like to spend a few minutes with yourself??

@Cheyee Thanks for responding,my friend.The house I live is 100 years old.My family consists of six members.I'm single.Though I love all my family members and those who are with me as my friends and colleagues,I feel having a few moments to live in my own company is necessary.

@Shivram59 sure, we need to track back in our self. That way we can face the challenge

@Shivram59 You are right but everybody can't do that.

@msdivkar Sitting at a place with a calm mind and pondering over one's own problems and our life - I don't think it is so difficult.

@msdivkar Thanks for responding,my friend.I feel it is necessary for us to spend some time in our own company.This helps us recognise ourselves and take important decisions with a calm mind.I don't think we can ever get bore with ourselves.Am I wrong??

Oh yes I do. Do you find some time by yourself on the mountain or in the forest?

@Shivram59 It is like myself, when I can do it and want to get away. Here I have a trail to walk, we live in the mountains nearby. I go over there and sit in peace. Yes I have to like you. Enjoy your time

@RebeccasFarm Thanks for responding.That's exactly what I do.Every evening I go to a small,but dense jungle at the outskirts of my town,some 5 kms from my house.There I spend about one hour atop a hillock.There I remain with myself only.My friends say it's childish.I don't care.

@RebeccasFarm I have been a nature lovers since my adolescence.I love dense jungles and jungle inmates.The jungle I visit every evening has some small, wild animals - jackals,foxes,hyaenas and monkey.I never try to disturb or chase them.Sitting silently on a branch of a tree or on a rock I just watch their movements.

I like being by myself with my cat or working on the computer and watching TV.

@Hannihar Why?? When you are alone,you are with yourself.And who can be your better friend than yourself ?? You are not alone, you are with yourself.

@Hannihar Thanks for responding,my friend.Imagine yourself sitting at a lonely place without any computer,tv or even without your cat,and absorbed in your introspection.What would you feel in that situation??

@prinzcy Thanks for responding.I also have my time in my bedroom,but my problem is that I get fast asleep seconds within I fall on my bed.I yearn for a time when I'm sitting under a tree alone talking to myself in my heart,deeply absorbed in my thoughts.

I like how you look at it as living with these people.. we are all pretty constantly surrounded by others...but I do enjoy my alone time a lot. Sometimes you just need that time to do the things only you like to do or things you wouldn't want to do with others around..

@BrittneeD First of all,thanks for responding. Like you I enjoy the time when I'm with myself.It is the time when I live in my own world - a world that may be awkward for others.I have feelings that I can't even share with my parents and my closest friends.It is the time when I can ponder over the solutions of problems I and my family is suffering from.It is the time when I'm free to think and share my thoughts and feelings with myself.
I firmly believe each one of us deserves this freedom.

I really appreciate to have time with myself. Most of the times I spend alone. So I have ample time with myself and it's a great idea
