The beauty of being alone.

The article from TIME Magazine discusses the distinction between chronic loneliness and healthy solitude. Chronic loneliness, characterized by a lack of companionship or social isolation, poses serious health risks such as anxiety, depression, and dementia. In contrast, solitude, which involves being alone but not necessarily lonely, can be a positive and healing experience that allows for self-reflection and creative thinking. The article emphasizes the importance of embracing alone time and finding ways to connect with oneself, whether through creative projects, solo activities, or reaching out for help when needed.
