An evening alone

The inner monologue of deep thinker

Ah! Peace.

Some people don’t want any time alone.

They don’t like to be alone with their thoughts.

It’s strange to them.

As if their thoughts are enemies waiting to get them alone.

So they must surround themselves with people at all times.

Me, I like a break.

It’s good to sit with your thoughts.

Company is good too.

I cherish every moment with friends and family.

But sometimes, it’s good to be alone for an evening.

What do I do with an evening alone?

I think.

I write.

I contemplate.

I think some more.

I count my many blessings.

I plan my next adventure.

I whip up a diabolical plan.

Not diabolical. A regular plan. Then call it “diabolical” for funzies.

I reflect on myself and my work.

What have I accomplished? Where am I going?

I don’t know.

I don’t typically answer the questions to any measurable extent.

But I do ask them.

Where am I headed? What have I accomplished?

Hmm…

I can see why some people don’t like to be alone with their thoughts.

Big questions lurk in there.

But that’s okay.

You don’t have to have all the answers.

Sometimes, it’s just good to ask them.

Sometimes, it’s too much.

Sometimes, you need a break from all that thinking.

What do I do then with an evening alone?

I make some popcorn, drizzle it with butter, maybe chocolate chips.

I get my laptop out and my other laptop out.

I get the old Super Nintendo out.

I get my work out.

I get my phone out.

I turn them all on as well as a show and my music.

Did I mention I have ADHD?

As far as I’m concerned you can have two directions with an evening alone.

You can have a thoughtful, relaxing night by yourself and grow a little bit.

Or you can do whatever the heck else you want!

It’s your evening :)
