Would you voluntarily spend a month in solitude? I've decided to abstain from any social events for a month. This even includes one on one time with anyone. Okay, so I admit I'm not going to be in complete solitude since I hold a full time job and am friends with my roommate. But any of my time away from work is going to be spent alone. I decided to do this because I want some space to clear my head. I've been working quite a bit of overtime lately and have not been focusing my free time towards any personal aspirations. I am definitely a social and outgoing individual (that ironically enjoys a lot of alone time as well) so if something fun is going on I probably want to be there. Even if I have planned to do something goal oriented, such as working on music, if I get asked to hang out there's a large chance I'll agree and then beat myself up for it later. I need to just let myself enjoy the calmness and clarity that comes only when one spends time away from others.
So this didn't last very long. But the reason was the one reason that I knew would keep me from going a month.
