It's okay to need your space. It's okay to withdraw from the things you like and the people you love to take a little time to recollect yourself. Some people will not understand why you need these quiet moments of isolation. They won't put themselves in your position and consider that sometimes, your mind and your energy need a getaway from everything to restore their balance. And that's okay. You don't have to explain to people why you prefer your company over theirs on some days, if that's going to offend them. Remember, if solitude is what you desire, solitude is what you should chase. The real ones will always understand that needing time apart isn't about not choosing them. It's about focusing your attention on your own self.
