Freewrite #15 - Home Alone

What does "home alone" mean to you?

It means lots of things to me :

• Home alone means I don’t have to host or placate anybody.

• Home alone means Zingali Time (ie. a chance to think, contemplate and slow down)

• Home alone is a chance for me to rest and heal

• Home alone can be a lonely time when depressed

• Home alone signifies the inner struggle I face every day.

• The struggle to choose joy.

• The struggle to be optimistic.

  • The struggle to be productive.
  • The struggle to stay relevant

• Being home alone is a respite from the daily chaos of bad news, materialism and self-importance

• Home alone means not having to answer to somebody else.

In a nutshell, I can sum up my feelings about being “home alone” in a sign I used to have hanging at the record store I managed.

“We have the right to refuse service to anybody for any or NO reason whatsoever”
-- “Be nice or leave”
