I wrote this poem in November of 2023.
with solitude comes clarity and peace of mind
I no longer rely on the actions of words of others
to validate my existence
I no longer feel like less of a person
because of the whims of others
with solitude comes an understanding
that being alone is the best way for me
to succeed in my recovery journey
because any extra energy derails me
from the woman of worth I’m becoming
Life on the BPD 
Prepare not define…. wonderful perspective

I enjoyed a movie binge yesterday, a good 9 hours, not exactly meditation, but the solitude prepares me for the inevitable clash with other people. I’m glad to hear you that realize the value of being alone. The trick I find is knowing when the coast is clear to be with other people, coast is clear in that the triggers that cause anxiety, stress, and whatever else, are not as intense.
