Ability to be alone.

If there is one ability that is lacking among us modern teenagers, it has to be sitting alone in a room. By alone I mean without people, without any electronic devices.

We are in this fake internet world where we are constantly made to feel that we are not alone. There are so many people with us. While in reality, very few really care.

There can be someone you talk to everyday on the internet but when you need help, they would shake it off like they don’t even know you.

The problem with all of this is that we have started living farther away from the reality. We no longer have the courage to face reality by sitting alone in a room.

When you sit alone, all thoughts come to your mind, even the inconvenient ones. All your insecurities come to haunt you.

But trust me all of them can be tackled alone too. Spend some time alone thinking about your insecurities and you will come up with a solution. But if you continue living in the fake world, of which we are all a part of then you won’t even know your insecurities in the first place.

I challenge you to sit in a room alone for 30 minutes today. No smartphone, no laptop, no nothing. Just you with you.

Up for it?
