The Sparrow's Last Refrain Nests In My Heart.

“Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.”

- Paul Tillich


When you suffer from being alone, that is loneliness.
When you enjoy being alone, that is solitude.
But I believe the one who enjoy solitude,
Has someone to go back to.
