Are you happy being alone?

I used to be that way. I always wanted to be with people.

But a few years back I found myself sitting on a rock a few miles south of Clingman's Dome on the Appalachian Trail and the "silence" was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Nothing but me and nature. No cars in the distance, no airplanes, no din of people and our existence. I could look down the slope of the mountain to the east into North Carolina and quite literally turn 180 degrees to look down the slope into Tennessee. Don't get me wrong, Ive got family and friends Id miss and want to get back to but I could have sat on that rock for a week.

ah, now here's a conversation that could last for hours..

I definitely understand where you are coming from.. without derailing the thread (or maybe this isn't that far off), I'm coming to a crossroads at life. Wanting things I hadn't considered much before. Less go with the flow and a little more contemplation on future ideals. I say I want to be around people, but what used to be 10-15 going out on the town is more those that I actually enjoy having conversations with.

(and watch, this weekend I'll prob'ly hit up the town.. old habits die hard)

I've went on many a treks in the past, usually with a few people. And at some point, run off for a few hours to soak up life. life without any thoughts outside of the moment and truly appreciate everything my eyes can see.. that warm feeling is something we all seem to strive for, but fail at it miserably.

I wish this thread was about whether or not people could stay away from the huddle for 7 days and all the same yes answers came through...I'd be happy to help with that

pfft... If I stopped posting, not only would the Huddle be less interesting, but you'd lose a lot of my followers...

lulz
