Solitude is The Company We Keep Until We Find Home

And home is the new concept we’re all searching for, not in the traditional sense,and not the way previous generations meant it.

In earlier decades, the narrative was about “finding ourselves. ”Self-discovery. Self-expression. Self-actualisation. It was the quest of the 70s, 80s, 90s the individual as the project.

But today, the landscape has changed. We know ourselves. We’ve analysed ourselves endlessly. We’ve named our patterns, our traumas, our preferences, our boundaries.

The journey isn’t inward anymore.It’s outward.

We are no longer trying to find ourselveswe are trying to find where we actually belong.We are trying to find home.

Home in people.Home in conversation.Home in the atmospheres that soften us.Home in the places where we don’t have to perform or shrink.

Solitude is not avoidance.It is the placeholder we sit in while we wait for that resonance.A safe interim space.A quiet holding pattern.

The right people

the people who feel like home are what pull us out of solitude naturally
