Have You Been Double Crossed Today?

Y eye’m a lone

Why I’m alone is because I like being alone.
I like my own company, for the most part, better than I like yours.

I can disagree with what I’m thinking,
and change my mind without seeming like I’ve back peddled.

I can call it “growth”.

I can wonder in the awesome quiet stillness of the world
without having to justify my joy.

I like you, but I like me more.

I trust myself more than I trust you. I’ve had longer to earn my trust.
I’m 48. It’s taken nearly that long to respect the trust I have for myself.
Did you catch yourself wishing you could earn my trust? Still want to? Don’t care to?

I like my own company, for the most part, better than I like yours.

Okay,

i think none of this has ever crossed my mind till i read it here. i have no desire to “change your mind” or redirect your decision to be solitary.

I am the sort that is alone inside my mind without having to be physically alone in the world. I choose to be alone there and feed off energies that are in close proximity.

so, here we are basically always alone, in a place that is full of illusion and false sense of security.

where’s the buffet?

er, I still use a “typewriter.” it’s electric and heavy.

and I trust maybe four people in the world totally, and about ten more if there’s no pressure on them to do otherwise…
