"A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he..." - Arthur Schopenhauer

🌙 Solitude

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer

Being truly yourself requires space — and solitude gives you exactly that. Embrace those moments when it's just you; that's where your most authentic self lives.
