Solitude: The sky is grey
How would you describe solitude?
What is your definition of loneliness?

I believe it is a state, far from other human beings, where we speak to our soul, and listen to our inner voice.

When in this state, we reflect our inner self in a piece of mirror which does not even exist.

We often desire solitude as a way to get rid of toxicity or stress. We often need loneliness to live a balanced life amidst all the usual hustle and bustle.
Sometimes, we need solitude to fully experience the beauty of nature.

Perhaps that is why Jalal al-Din Rumi asked, "When will you start this long journey into yourself?"
