I know world is a really weird place. It can be cruel and insensitive many a times or perhaps most of the times. It can be judgemental, selfish, careless and what not. And being on your own where your happiness is not dependent on others, where you’ve chosen your own path, where its just you and your comforting personal space, seems a valid way out! And if you’re able achieve that, it’s really commendable.
But I think here’s the catch! You don’t have to cut yourself out completely coz of those few people you came across. You don’t have to force yourself to be lonely in the name of solitude to appear mature and wise in other’s eyes. You don’t have to create a false independent image of yourself and pretend to be at peace.
The anatomy of human mind is really vast and complex. It can go in spirals turning into big tornadoes in no time! It’s our human need to interact and converse and share that can’t be altered. Hence we all need someone to hear our naked truths and hold our hand in joy and sorrow. We all need a little support and care once in a while to function adequately. So according to me it’s not wrong if you want/expect that. You’d still be called a “minimalist”.
