I love spending time with people, but I feel great on my own too. Recently, for several days in a row, I wrote in my journal: "I love being in my own company."
When I feel I want to be alone, I turn to one of two ways.
The first is going away somewhere on my own (it usually happens on impulse), in "right now" mode, packing on the go.
Over the last six months I've slipped away like this to the States (buying the ticket the day before), to a wine region, and escaped from one city to another, grabbing a high-speed train ticket 15 minutes before departure.
I love these impulses: they let me feel free, a little carefree, unburdened by anything.
The second way is simply being at home in silence: no music, no TV shows, no conversations.
I play with my dog, reflect in my journal, meditate. I always go downstairs and buy lots of flowers (at the flower shop by my building's entrance), make arrangements at home and put them in different vases around the rooms.
