The Lonely Walk. . .

Taking a walk by myself with nobody to talk to, no music to listen to, and no phone to text was terrifying. Yes, it gave me time to think about my life and what's going on at the moment, but it's not the same as when I have somebody with me. I feel unsafe. Even though I was able to think about things, the thing that kept going through my mind was fear. Fear, of somebody seeing me. I hate being by myself. I might sound ridiculous saying it, but I really do hate it. Makes me wonder, how are others able to go on a long walk all by themselves with nobody to talk to? Don't they ever feel lonely and scared? How can they actually prefer walking by themselves then with somebody else to talk to?
