In our hyper-connected world, the idea of spending time alone often carries a negative connotation. Many people equate solitude with loneliness, imagining a state of sadness or isolation.

How My Life’s Purpose to Have an Unbreakable Heart Left Me Broken in Life
Ever noticed how people who are afraid of having their heart broken often end up feeling broken? Until recently, that was the case for me anyway.
