Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or donโt find meaning but โstealโ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesnโt make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.

And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.
