Away from the world

You know that moment when the air literally begins to choke you, more like an unwelcome feeling that you are helpless against. You are in the midst of people and still feel alone. These people mean good, you know, they love you but you just wish they would disappear for a while with all their ideas and suggestions and leave you be.

It is absolutely normal to feel that way sometimes. Oftentimes, we get stuffed full of advice received and opinions countered that it becomes a haze of confusion up there. With all these come a pressure to deliver; to select the best alternative out of solutions proffered.

It can be hard to find yourself in the midst of people. I recommend an "alone" time, although not for long, to enable you to find yourself. You need to be away from the noise of the world to enable you to connect with your inner self. In the quiet, you see answers that seemed invisible before, staring back at you.

We give so much of ourselves to people - family, friends, relatives, colleagues, and yes even strangers. We become so charged up with no time to ourselves; no time for deep reflection. I bet you a peaceful walk at the beach can clear your mind and throw more light on goals and aspirations set. Staring into the night sky by yourself can help give you clarity from different perspectives. Going down on your knees in deep prayer by yourself can give you clear insights into challenges faced and most especially, peace.

I am not against hanging out with friends and family, it is very compulsory. It is also very necessary to seek some quiet away from the noise of the world by yourself. It really does work.

THE BODYGUARD PART 11

Chapter 11 - Dark Places by CameoLover93 W R I T T E N BY C A M E O L O V E R 93 11. DARK PLACES Days Later It was crazy how one innocent kiss had somehow managed to change Julian's entire outlook on his brooding, constant mood swinging, yet overall alluring boss. A hell of a lot had changed since Julian first arrived at Aiden's house, saying the least. Only but a few days ago, Julian could barely tolerate Aiden; however, right now, given everything that's happened between them and whether or not that had all been a colossal mistake, Julian couldn't help but see Aiden in a different light. And as much as Julian would rather not be crushing on his currently unattainable boss that's secretly having a sexual identity crisis, Julian was only human at the end of the day. He couldn't help how he felt inside nor could Aiden, who'd been busy trying to drink his problems away rather than talk them out like a rational adult. "Terrance Price, the pr...

THE BODYGUARD PART 18

Chapter 18 - So Petty by CameoLover93 W R I T T E N BY C A M E O LO V E R 93 18. SO PETTY The Next Morning "I don't know if I've said this already, but I'm really sorry for shoving you yesterday. I don't know what came over me," Aiden whispered. "It's fine. I've been over it," Julian muttered, hugging Aiden from behind. They were half-awake and still in Julian's bedroom, neither of them in a rush to get up and get ready for the new day. "Everything that Price told me kind of shook of me up. And then having to see all those pictures of that crazy bitch to learning more about the baby, it all just..." Aiden sighed, not wanting to reflect back on what all he uncovered yesterday. "It all got to me. And on top of that, none of what Price uncovered explains why she's after to me. It's almost like we're back to square one." "I wish I could take your pain and frustrations away. I hate seeing you...

THE BODYGUARD PART 14

Chapter 14 - Have Patience by CameoLover93 W R I T T E N BY C A M E O L O VE R 93 14. Have Patience 24 Hours Later "You'll have to be patient with me. I'm new to all this, so I don't really know how this works, but I know what I feel and I know what I want; I've known it since we first kissed, but I was too scared to admit it to myself at the time..." Aiden looked over at Julian in the driver's seat, quietly admiring his features while he drove them home from the hospital. Julian was listening to every word that Aiden had said, but visually, he seemed to be in another zone. It was late and both men were tired, but for whatever reason, it was now for when Aiden had finally decided to tell Julian how he'd been feeling ever since the first day that he laid his eyes on him. It was now or never for Aiden to tell Julian the truth about he felt. And damn if this wasn't one of the hardest things that he's ever had to do in his entire ...
