Alone time is NOT overrated.  There is even a song about it.  “EVERYONE NEEDS SOME TIME ALONE”.  Think that’s the name.  Alone time means silence. Silence to think, to recover from all the nonsense that everyone throws at you on an hourly basis.  Listening to everyone’s problems, ideas, complaints, gripes, fears, wonderings, and beliefs leaves little room for your own thoughts or piece of mind.  Piece/Peace of mind, which is it?  Both is the answer.  We all have our piece of mind and desire Peace of Mind.  Both come back  when one has time alone.  Counting the days until I can enjoy this tranquility again.  Til then … My mind  continues to absorb what everyone else utters and throws against my brain diluted with my own thoughts on most subjects.
