I don’t need time alone very often, so can’t echo the sentiments above, but when I get that rare urge for quiet, it is very necessary.
I think your thoughts on children are so well articulated and hit a great point.

Your middle three paragraphs are so close to how I feel, and reading your last, I suddenly realize that this is what I missed: I need to go out more. I need to find my energy back and do it, because I haven’t been out for so long. It’s time to get back into the swing of things and get my state of mind back to healthy again.

Lovely post, Molly.

Absolutely, balance is the key. You can not give all the time, it is just not possible and sometimes you have to be truthful and honest with those people in your life and say. I love you but I need this time for me. I also think it teaches kids good lessons too, that it is OK to nurture yourself, that being a parent does not mean losing sight of who YOU are and then people are all different and have different needs and respecting that about the people we love is so very important

I have young kids (6 & 3 yrs old). I mourned the loss of my youngest’s daytime naps for months as that was the only time I got to myself during the day. I love my kids, but have always needed time to myself. I’m happier for that time to myself, so I’m a better mum for them and a better partner for my man if I take that time. When I take an hour in the shower at the weekend – they know not to moan about it!! It’s all about balance, right?

Finding your own space within our often crazy world is so important. Sometimes too, it is possible to find that space in close proximity to others, and to be quiet and introverted just as you need. Love the photos you take when you have been away for an hour or two on your own…….

I too considered myself shy for many years, when really it’s just that I need a fair amount of time to myself. I would never, ever want to be without the people that I love, but in order to be my best self, I need time alone. This is getting harder as my daughter gets older, something I’m struggling with now, so I was especially relieved by what you wrote in relation to parenthood. I often feel like she should be the exception (which induces tons of counter-productive guilt) when in reality, the introversion, the need for quiet, is just part of who I am. Hopefully, I’ll find a workable balance. In the meantime, I’m very happy to have read this. xxx

But, as you well know, once I’m comfortable, I’m practically sociable. 🙂

I need to be by myself but I enjoy people-watching and being around people on my own terms. I guess I’m saying that I understand. 🙂

My regular place of retreat is my weekly yoga class. For one and a half hours once a week my phone is turned off and no-one that depends on my can get hold of me, they all know this and there are no exceptions!

I love this picture of you, I recall seeing it before or one very similar!
