Tattoo Artist Orange: Perhaps I enjoy solitude. I've come to realize that I've grown accustomed to it, whether in family, friendships, romance, or marriage. It wasn't until today, at the age of 32, that I realized solitude brings me a sense of happiness. I even find myself increasingly enjoying this feeling. Instead of pretending to please others, it's better to quietly be alone, to walk one's own path, to be one's own light. Just be yourself.
