A Quote by Elizabeth Berg on new and important, rest, weariness, sickness, quiet of my own self, unload my head, think, being alone for awhile, character, and nun

When it's new and important, you have to rest in between times.  And anyway, even when I like a person there is a weariness that comes.  I can be with someone and everything is fine and then all of a sudden it can wash over me like a sickness, that I need the quiet of my own self.  I need to unload my head and look at what I've got in there so far.  See it.  Think what it means.  I always need to come back to being alone for awhile.  I guess I sort of got used to it when I was younger and now it's mixed in my character like eggs in a cake.  Sometimes I wonder, does this mean I'll have to be a nun or something?

this is so lovely. I love it! It gives me the tingles inside- cause, I love to have my space sometimes and I ask myself silly questions too- but, no, I”ll never a nun! :-)
