Awesome response. AgreeAnswer: There are a few things that fall into this response.
First, and something many people have always thought was weird, is going to see a movie by myself. One of my biggest pet peeves, especially when watching a movie for the first time, is when people aren't paying attention, asking questions, screwing around, etc. I really appreciate character development, slow but deliberate storytelling, the fine details lost if you miss a single line. So it always annoyed me when my friends in high-school wouldn't shut the fuck up during a movie. So I started going alone and I found I enjoyed the movies so much more. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to go to a movie by myself in probably 10 years or more.
In this phase of life, I like the little things when I have time to myself. I love being able to just sit and drink my hot cup of coffee out on the deck and watch and listen to the birds and ponder anything and everything. I enjoy those quiet moments alone. I relish in sitting in front of a fire (fireplace or campfire) in silence with a cup of coffee or glass of red wine.
Another very important thing I do by myself which is necessary to keeping my sanity and is like therapy for me, is hunting. While I do some hunting with my Dad and my Brother and will eventually do with my kids, there is still something soothing to the soul and cleansing about being out in the woods, alone, experiencing everything the trees, the animals and the wind have to offer. Taking it all in. Processing it all. Admiring it all. Thinking about all the things that have ever happened in whatever spot I'm sitting in since the beginning of time. Regardless of whether or not I leave the woods with a harvest, its still a win. A harvest is not expected, but earned and appreciated. The reward is being able to spend time in the natural world and relishing in it's complexity, it's simplicity and its beauty.
One more thing I thought was warranted in mentioning also, since this is Lit, is simply having time to relieve, explore and discuss all the sexual interests, urges, and needs that I do not have the opportunities to in my RL. It's unfortunate, but its the reality at this point in my life. Lit is currently a nice outlet for me when I have time to myself.
Thanks for the question!
