Solitude

I’m here, on campus

I’m watching people as they pass

Watching them take their break and make their way into a different classroom

They converge at a common area to later be dispersed again into little rooms

They have different times and destinations set for them.

They leave and go independently

One specific room/destination gathers different people from different parts of the school

Different walks of life, temporarily coinciding.

Though their destinations align, they move independently.

They come from mutual rooms and grounds and go to mutual rooms and grounds;

But they all have their own unique roots that they came from.

No one can fully understand the other, for they are eternally dispersed by their differing experiences and backgrounds.

So you are the one to get to understand yourself and be there for yourself as people come and go.

The way life works– how you cross paths with people in different times and at different places– is rather whimsical and flowing.

Nevertheless, the human being tends to attach and depend on these people and places that are only passing by.

Yet, they are only passing by,

prompted by their own times and destinations.

Solitude is a natural state.

Accept yourself

because you will be living with yourself for the rest of your time

and because the notion that you have places to be at and people to be with is just a temporary fact, a mere illusion.
