"What makes having your "ME TIME" the best? You are free to do things on your own, in your own pace without thinking what other people will have to say. This means the liberty to pursue things that you really want in the first place. Being alone does not mean you are sad but you just want to spend some quality time with yourself. It releases tension, the fear inside you while discovering that you can act on the things you do not normally do.
I have embraced this "me time" for several years already but I have not regretted doing this kind of activity.
I love it every time I will spend my own quality time. I have done a lot of things alone like eating in a fancy restaurant; watching a movie while crying buckets of tears for those touching scenes; catching a basketball game (championship round for that matter) solo while witnessing how my favorite team celebrated a victory; traveling alone; capturing photos of the best places I have visited in; shopping for myself; and I did as far as bringing myself to the emergency room, having a blood extraction because of severe dizziness.
Recently, I did my own Visita Iglesia and I really loved that experience. Another solo experience was viewing the beautiful sunset in Manila Bay. That was the only free time that I could catch the picturesque sunset of the famed Manila Bay. I have more in mind which I can do in the future.
So, who says being alone is so sad when in fact you can do a lot of things when you are alone."
Yes, after writing this long status for more than a year, I keep on valuing this time for myself. Only when I have time for myself, I get to reflect on areas to change or to improve. I get to realize things better. I see things on a clearer picture.
But don't get me wrong, I cherish the people I loved most in my lifetime, that is my family and my friends. I highly regard and respect their opinions and several advice given to me. Though, sometimes, I am too hardheaded to heed some of them, I still value what they feel for and speak of me. I remain a firm believer of this saying, "No man is an island" especially in a generation where social networking earns greater importance.
No matter how I value my relationship with others, I find time to immerse with myself once in a while. This attitude keeps my sanity intact. I own this time for myself because I put importance of me, being God's greatest masterpiece.
Off to my next destination!
