Wow! That is awesome!
That was excellent. Being an only child, I really appreciate alone time and struggle with never feeling like I have enough of it.
I love it. I rarely get alone time except at night after the kids are asleep, I actually fantasise about being able to go and sit in a coffee shop by myself.
Interesting follow-up to this on Jezebel, apparently someone thought the video was “anti-feminist”.

Anti feminist? If someone had just read the poem without watching the video, would they have drawn the same conclusions?
I am one of those actually enjoying the bits of alone-ness I’m finally getting these days. I’m the oldest of six kids and went from being the oldest sibling to raising a set of siblings. I now look forward to the day when the only creatures living in my house are myself, a couple of constantly shedding cats, and nearly dead houseplants. It’s not that far off.
