YUCK, PEOPLE

 

In my younger years I had an abundance of friends, 

and many acquaintances.  I'd spend a good portion 

of my daily time being around them -- and enjoyed it.

However, as I age, the less I want to be around people.

Over the past five years or more,

I find people's behaviors intolerable and abhorrent.

I don't want to be around that toxic energy.

...and maybe they feel the same way about me.

So be it. 

I have a few long-time friendships that I cherish,

and that suffices my social need. 

In this new phase of my life, I am learning

the art and benefits of being alone.

I'm embracing my solitude, and loving it.
