I think this was a few days after the hectic CNY period… Managed to visit this little space for a bit of respite. And all was well in the world again, after my needed dose of solitude, writing, and coffee (art).
At the risk of sounding quite hippie… Yup.

One of the reasons why I actively seek solitude.
So I recently found myself in a situation where I wasn’t quite sure what kind of courage I needed to show, or for what reason I needed to show the courage for.
Unfortunately I took the easy way out and kept quiet, neither fighting for myself nor others. And came to regret it, a little bit.
Learning in progress. Work in progress. Always in progress.
Quality improvement in progress.

Are far from it.

Off for the yearly retreat to be by the Arabian Sea.
Not exactly physically alone, but I suppose solitude is as much a state of mind as much as it is a physical state.
Because money is cheap, and time is expensive.
