Me Me Me time !
Me-time
"Me-time" -- a good friend suggested this term once..
There's this interesting piece of conversation that happens so often with me, on various occasions, when I'm with friends, or whoever
"Hey, what are you doing? Let's go some where / do some thing.."
Me: "Nah....."
"Why? What are you doing?"
Me: "Well.. nothing much.. just wanna spend time with myself."
"Are you fine? Is there something?" (with the 'concern' in tone)
Me: "No. I'm fine. Just generally wanna be with myself. That's it.."
(Silent pause..) "Ok. Take care." (with emphasis on the 'take care' part ;))
And then, I get those "??!?!" looks - I'm still to exactly figure out what they mean.. never really bothered to ask (don't know why)...
Well, I often wonder why this kind of reaction??
Why is it not-so-common (or, is 'weird' the word here ??) to just simply be with yourself and enjoy one's own company, like one enjoys being with friends, etc?
I love being with myself... and I can spend hours with myself... and I really enjoy my company! (ha ha.. there goes modesty for a hike ;)..).
Oh BTW, I'm not a nut case ;).

I totally agree with you.I love spending time alone.Thinking about all kinds of things sometimes going blank and staring into oblivion with absolutely no thoughts in mind.sometimes little joys in life which usually go unnoticed cos of busy schedule can only be cherished when alone.Life and its challenges take a lot of steam out of you these days.Its like taking you car to a servicing centre ,its like takin time out after fifteen minutes of basketball you regroup yourself,recharge your batteries to face life ahead.Sometimes i feel,we need sometime alone cos we run out of patience ,living upto peoples expectations at home,at office,with friends, everyone has their own set of expectations.im sure every one wants to live life ,like a kid, wihtout any responsibilites and burden and this break enables you to get in touch with the child in you.sometimes subconciously its like getting in touch with an old pal ,yourself .sometimes when we spend time alone,i fine tune things in ma attitude which make better equipped to face life.
well.. there are times when one would like to take a break from this mad mad world, step back and just be at peace with oneself... I think its just a gr8 idea! :)
