From childhood, illness forced the author into isolation, yet she unexpectedly discovered the sweetness of solitude and learned to converse with her own thoughts. As an adult, she grew even more certain--solitude is freedom, the courage to refuse conformity, and life's most luxurious indulgence. Those who truly understand solitude can, in undisturbed moments, see themselves clearly, cultivate character, and quietly sing their own life's song. "So what if no one understands you? When you're alone, you can fully indulge in what you love. Even if others don't approve, it doesn't matter--understanding yourself is enough. Solitude isn't misery; the real problem lies in--you viewing solitude as misery."
