The joy of solitude

When you manage to have a life for you, solitude is the condition. And it is a gift, a blessing, a completeness... Finally things get understood. You are out of the hustle and bustle, out of the emotional drama and blackmail, where you constantly adjust to others, especially when you are an empath surrounded by predators. 

Empaths attract predators because they are unable to set clear, sharp and thorny boundaries to stop their voracious invasion! 

As an empath you must understand that solitude is an existential necessity if you want to live. Not just surviving, but living your life with your mistakes that let you understand the limits and errors to correct. A life that shows you weren't born as food for predators, but as good food that you, yourself, create when your space is sacred, and therefore can produce special benefits for you and others. 

Imposing a healthy distance between you and the predators is a vital necessity. Especially when they are family! 

When you set boundaries, you may even end up enjoying being and working with others. Because that actually should be the meaning of life: learning to be together in a respectful collaboration.

Being together submitting to the bullies, so that they will predate your life, is not what we are asked to accomplish!
