hi

this post is about solitude. it's about escaping from all that's happening around. shutting down to all the noise and distraction and the chit-chat of the mind for a while. a short escape. an inward escape. as much as i love being around people, i do that shutting down thing quite often; i tend to shut down deliberately when i hear loud boasts or loud 'doings' or loud anything these days. i've noticed that the withdrawal helps me gain my sense of balance back and it calms me down, keeps my sanity intact. i need calm as much as everyone else and recently i've been feeling i'm doing more to discover new ways to achieve it. what can i say, it's not coming easy.

this is a celebration of a short but peaceful time spent alone and the ending of a working day.
