I need me time. Everyone needs "me" time. What is "me" time you ask? "Me" time is time to yourself without any outside disturbances or influences. Quiet solitude. Time alone so I can think, plan, organize. Time so I can relax or stress my brain in ways that I wish.
I can take a long bubble bath without anyone knocking on the bathroom door. I can play my video games without someone calling my name to break my concentration. I can read a book without having to answer the phone. I can listen to the music or watch the television programs I want to. "Me" time.
I don't think most people take much or any "me" time. Always running this place and that place. This deadline to meet. And that meeting to go to. Going, going, going until time to get home and then still going. Shower, cook dinner. If you have small or any kids at home it's kid time. Then you have to get everything ready for the next day. You go until you must fall into bed to sleep. And well sleep is not "me" time.
I believe that some people are afraid to be alone with themselves. They are afraid of the quiet. They are afraid to hear themselves think. They're afraid of what their own minds may have to tell them about themselves. They just simply have not and/or do not know what to do with valuable "me" time. I wish these people could give me their unwanted "me" time. I would gladly take it. I can think of so much I could do with this extra "me" time.
I don't think "me" time is selfish. Although we all need to be a little bit selfish . We can't always put other people or things ahead of yourself. We must care for ourselves so as we may be able to give our best to others.
I guess my "me" time this morning is over. I'm being paged. Got to go. Hey get yourself some "me" time today. Even if it's just five minutes. Sit in a quiet spot and think only of yourself and your plans.

Me time is the exact reason I wake up at 5 am in the first place. I like the quiet time to reflect. Without my me time I would go crazy. Once my day gets going its a whole 'nother story. I might have to see if me time goes on sale anytime soon. I might just get you some for Christmas (lol).
