For the past few weeks i've had the Cat Power song Maybe Not stuck in my head.

This part of the lyrics have really been weighing on my mind:
"We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind"

To me it's such an interesting concept, being free with your mind. At first when i think about "being free" i think of being able to do whatever i want, but being free is so much more than that. It's an inner concept that no one can take away from you no matter what.

I've been thinking about the concept of being free with my mind a lot lately because being a young person for so much of your life you are told what to do and the right things to think and it sometimes feels like you can't escape it. But the truth is, you can.

So, basically, i've been thinking about aloneness.

As long as i can remember i always thought that being alone was a negative thing, but the last few weeks i've come to find that it isn't as negative as i once believed.

I've been spending a lot of time lately on my own, just hanging out with good old me and it has actually been a grand experience. There's something peaceful about just going to the park by myself, or driving down to hollywood to go to the illiad and spending a few hours alone there.


I have come to find that i enjoy my own company.


cheers,
