Book How To Be Alone Novels & Stories

Supported them. "Separation requires knowing yourself completely," Alone taught. "Requires understanding where you end and others begin. Requires clarity about who you are as individual. You must know yourself. Must understand yourself. Must be absolutely certain of your individual identity. Before you can separate. Before you can part. Before you can become individual again. Know yourself. That is first requirement. That is essential foundation. That is what makes separation possible. Know yourself."

I reached out, my fingers trembling as they brushed the leather cover. The scent of wildflowers and ozone was so strong it made my head spin.

"I'm choosing to focus on finishing my education, healing from everything that's happened, and figuring out who I am outside of crisis and chaos. I'm choosing to be alone for a while. Really alone, not just waiting for the next disaster or the next dramatic declaration." "Maya," Jaxon said desperately, "you don't have to be alone. I can give you space while still.." "No," I said firmly. "Because that's not really space. That's just waiting. And I need to stop letting my life revolve around romance and relationships and who's fighting for me."

“Stop pretending, you witch! “Your aunt took a lot of money from me and sold you to me! Why else do you think I came here?! “I’ve been eyeing you for a long time and found out a lot about you! You have no parents and only two brothers, but they don’t care about you! Your entire family has horrible people! It’s better for you to be mine! I’ll take good care of you!” I knew that it was useless for me to reason with someone who was crazy. While he talked, I hurried into the guest room and locked it.

- ISOBEL - I’m not working today. Not after how shaken I was by yesterday’s run in with Cain. Laying on my bed with my tummy pressed on the sheets and eyes glued to my laptop, I’m researching ways to start a fire. Secure ways without leaving trails. If there’s one thing I am bad at doing other than approaching a long, lost crush, it’s committing a crime. I need to have thorough information if I want this to work and the internet is the best place for research.

Like what I said, I was fine being alone because I usually do that before. That’s what I have mastered in the years when I was single and had no one to eat with. It's not really that sad to eat alone. In fact, it was very empowering. You know you can conquer everything and you don't really need anyone to be able to eat out. They should normalize that. Some people think it's lonely to eat alone. They didn't know that sometimes it's peaceful and we prefer that more.

I suddenly had a real understanding of what it meant to be alone. I had been mired in grief and just managing to put one foot in front of the other. I hadn’t had time to feel really alone until that moment. It was my own fault. I had bought a big ass house and had no people to fill it with. It only compounded the loneliness.

My bathroom is small, a small shower in the corner, my toilet a few feet infront my sink. A small rug with little flowers sits in the middle of the floor. I walk over to the mirror and look at myself, my eyes are red and swollen from crying. My hair is a mess and frizzy from everything that has happened. So many emotions are running through me right now, I feel like a volcano that is about to explode. Dumping lava over the surrounding lands. I know who I am by myself. I’ve grown to love being alone, to find comfort in the silence that fills my days. My grey blue eyes st

“I…not yet. You have to remember I’ve spent so many years alone that I want to be surrounded by people for awhile longer. Rowen understands, and respects that.” “But you’re alone in your room at school.” “If you think about it, the majority of the time I’m alone in my room is when I’m sleeping. At least your or Norm is with me most of the time. When I am alone, I hate it. When I’m by myself I either video chat, have music going, or a movie playing so I don’t feel so alone.” “Oh. I….I didn’t realize that.” “Yeah.” “I have to be honest with you about something, short stack.” Colby said.

I only had a year to find my answers, no distractions was a good way to start. "Venus, honey, are you ready?" My mom called me from the kitchen, as I opened my bedroom door. "Yes, mom be right there." I called back. Walking towards the kitchen, I was singing Famous Last Words out loud. "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone, honey if you stay I'll be forgiven, Nothing you can say can stop me going home. Can you see my eyes are shining bright?
