“I love the freedom that comes with being alone. I love having time to savor. Life can be such a big rush, and I have such a slow heartbeat. When I am alone I move as slowly as I want to. I guess it’s no wonder that sometimes I feel like there’s no one else on this earth but me. No wonder that sometimes I feel so lonely I have to shut my eyes like a door to which I’ve lost the key.”
