We have been conditioned from early on to think that something must be wrong with us if we don't want to join in on the playground dodgeball game or hopscotch. Those kids who chose to recharge their elementary school selves by picking wildflowers, reading quietly, or watching dodgeball from the sidelines were often coerced right back into the thick of grade school stimulation. As adults, many of us still wrestle with these subliminal shaming messages, even though on some level we are aware that solitude is what we need. Solitude is rejuvenating. Solitude feeds the soul.
