Alone without the lonely...

If I am not concerned for myself, who will be for me?
But if I am only concerned for myself, what good am I?
And if now is not the time to act, when will it be?
- Hillel

Trying to keep the spirit of this quote alive as I soak in my life in Pittsburgh... I had a surprisingly low key weekend. Full of studying and exercising... and a lot of quiet alone-time. I can't remember the last weekend I've spent so much time by myself. It's both great and reality-jolting at the same time.

I have these glorified memories of what it was like to live on my own when I was in Albuquerque. My mess was mine completely and my social time happened when I planned it and quiet time was more of a norm.

I think I forgot how much self-analysis happens when you're alone. It's good to have the time to think and it's important to balance it out with time spent with friends... Oh the constant balance game we humans play!
