Relax
Relaxation. For some people it’s what they look forward to all day. It is the same for me. I love to hang out with my friends at school and on the weekends, but sometimes, alone in my room is the best feeling in the world. After a long day at school being around many people and dealing with work, being at home, my own boss, doing what I like in my own personal space, is true relaxation.

When at school or at a friend’s house, you are constantly thinking or sharing something. I enjoy those ties, but only because the best is yet to come when I’m alone. When I am by myself I can choose what to watch, what to eat, and what I want to do, no questions asked.

Although being alone is a great feeling, that’s only because everyday I’m around others and I need my own time for me. If I was by myself too much, I would crave interaction with others. You cannot have one without the other. In my opinion, people should have a good balance of both.

Every person has a place to go or something they can do to wind down and relax, whether it is alone or with others. Everyone should take time to relax, making life better for themselves and others. If we all took the time to calm down, we would be surprised by the changes it would make.
