bell on solitude
knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving.. when we can be alone, we can be with others w/o using them as a means of escape – bell hooks

I know solitude, and I believe it has helped me become an easier person.

via mellie fb share next day:
“Many moons ago, I was listening to a podcast with the remarkable Ashley C. Ford, who shared this golden nugget from the poet Warsan Shire:
‘I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.’
“It’s something I now carefully consider in any relationship—romantic, platonic, business. We all need time alone and I seem to need more than most people, but in general, if I’d rather be alone than with you, it’s gonna be a no.”
—Nicole Christie, podcaster and founder of Tulla Productions
