Alone in the apartment is my preferred state. I can eat what I want, when I want. Watch what I want, while I eat what I want. Clean up the next day. No longer having to organise my day around other people, David, patients. And there’s something more physical about the aloneness, as well. I feel the space around me differently. It’s not that it’s quieter; it is a bodily experience of quiet. I am in the air differently.
