Being Alone

I love being alone

Don't get me wrong

I don't mean I prefer being alone than being with friends

It's just that I don't mind being alone in a public place

I guess not many could say the same thing

I find enjoyment while being alone as well

Perhaps up till this point you might feel that I'm weird

But I assure that after you read my points

Your opinion would change

When I'm alone

Say

In a cafe

With a cup of coffee

I can fully enjoy the aroma of my cup of coffee

I'll spend my time observing the people around me

I can see different types of people

The way they talk

The way they dress

Their taste of drinks

Their preference of food

Guess their personality

Guess their profession

There are lots of things I could observe and think of when I'm alone

I don't get that luxury while I'm with friends

I'll be so occupied by those jokes and conversations

I wouldn't be able to fully feel the taste of my coffee

I would observe far less people in my surrounding

I wouldn't be worried that those people at the next table will be saying that I'm a lone ranger

Because they might not realize me at all

How I know?

Because when I'm busy with my friends

I probably wouldn't even realize that the person sitting at the next table is alone

Even if they did

So what?

So

To be sipping a cup of coffee

Surfing the net using my laptop

Enjoy what the public TV had to offer

And when I'm tired

Just sit down and observe the people and surrounding

Is a different way of enjoying life

When I'm alone

I could really see and think far more

Then when I'm with my friends

Being alone

Isn't that bad after all isn't it?

Just a note

To those who are very rejective of being alone

Try going alone to somewhere familiar whom you always go with friends

Whether is cafe, restaurant, bookstore, shopping complex or even mamak stall

You would see more of the place and see it differently

Trust me

But here I once again reiterate

I don't prefer being alone than being with friends

I actually prefer being talking and joking around with friends

It's just that I don't mind being alone
