Do you ever just disappear, or want to?

I did it last year. I disappeared down to London for 3 days on my own. I just felt like it. I wanted to do something on my own and experience the feeling of travelling alone - granted I was in the same country, so its not really travelling but you know what i mean.

I loved it, just do it. Some people didnt understand, but these are the people who cant be alone for 3 seconds, let alone 2 days.

I like being alone. I usually work in the garden to get away from everyone. Taking a walk in the woods is good as well.

I use to do that alone thing lots...im not talkin about days, but more hours upon hours everyday because I felt it was the only way I could think and figure shit out. The only reason I wasent completely alone was because I lived with my parents and I never had a choice but to see them. Now you wanna talk about some alone time to think? My Routine went down like this: I went to bed at around 6-7am and slept to around 3-4pm (I never worked) got up ate went bike riding by myself for a couple hours (meaning I thought alot in that time), Lifted weights in the basement (once again thinking), of course my parents would be in bed at around that time so i'd come up from the basement and then id do my internet shit, watch tv (by myself) asnd head to bed around 6-7am just when my dad got up to go to work (but id pretend I was sleeping so he wouldent talk to me).

I got pretty sick around that time and got into a drugs shortly after I decided to "meet up" with a old buddy of mine. Go figure.

That was probably 3 and haft years ago now, just before I got into rehab in Comox.

So What did I learn by having all that time to myself? Well with all that thinking I learned that people don't like me, I will never accomplish anything with my life, People make fun of me when they see me, that im a loser for living at home at my age and the list goes on.

All I really wanna say to anyone that reads this is that be careful of how much "alone time you have" because you many end up screwing up your brain.

In a way next month i'm going off alone but its to a festival so technically i'll be with people but i shall be without any of my family or anyone else i know which is going to be bliss.

And as for the original question, i do like being alone but i've never really gone away just by myself with noone else around to disturb me.

I suppose i can do it now that i have my car so who knows, i may decide to do it

I totally agree with this..........

The more time alone you spend with yourself, the worse off you are. Granted Freaks case of going camping for a few days to unwind from everyday life is cool and encouraged.......I am talking more about everyday life.

You can drive yourself crazy trying to "think" constantly. Reason being is you can't bounce your crazy ideas/thoughts off someone else and you start overthinking the simplest things.

I also think some people are more apt to seek alone time. I was an only child until I was 11 (mother remarried and I got two step brothers). Now I had TONS of alone time and it wasnt even something I wanted at the time. I was left home before and after my mom went to and got home from work at a very young age. I then secluded myself from the new family and often would just go "out" as a teenager in my car for hours at a time. Sometimes I would just drive down the street and read a book so I didnt have to listen to anyone.

Now that I am older and married with kids and such I find myself seeking alone time but it is with the wife and kids included. I choose not to interact with alot of strangers, co-workers or even friends and family at this point sometimes.

Shit, I mean I even took a job where I am the only person in a 10 story building after 5pm till midnight. Alot of my friends have said when visiting my building "Man, doesnt this totally creep you out?" since its all dark and old and dirty. I just say "I wouldn't have it any other way"

But to back up the original point of agreeing with Chewy. I find that if I am not doing stuff then I dwell on negative shit. That is a main reason for WrestlingClique/Monks. It TOTALLY keeps me occupied while sitting in a barren office for 8 hours a night.

Meh I have my special place I can go to.

The road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I am the closest thing to God
So worship me and never stop.
The selfish blood runs through my veins
I gave up everything for fame
I am the life that you adore
I feed the rich and fuck the poor.
This is entertainment
Lives are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more.
