In certain areas of my life, I actively seek out solitude. Especially for someone in my line of work, solitude is, more or less, an inevitable circumstance. Sometimes, however, this sense of isolation, like acid spilling out of a bottle, can unconsciously eat away at a person's heart and dissolve it. You could see it, too, as a kind of double-edged sword. It protects me, but at the same time steadily cuts away at me from the inside.
In some aspects of my life, I find solace in being alone, which is common in my profession. However, this solitude can sometimes feel overwhelming and detrimental, silently damaging me emotionally. It serves as a protective barrier, yet it also inflicts harm, creating a complex relationship with isolation.
This experience can be viewed as a double-edged sword; while solitude offers a space for reflection and creativity, it also poses risks to my emotional well-being. The paradox of seeking solitude highlights the intricate balance between its benefits and drawbacks, emphasizing how it can both nurture and erode the spirit.
