The Need To Be Alone

Hello!

I’m someone who often needs time alone so I can think and so I can manage my personality. If I don’t get time alone I feel like I’m drowning intellectually and, also, I get grouchy. Sometimes the desire to withdraw from the company of others is strong. I feel if I could just go a week without talking to anybody. If I never get enough time by myself it feels like my thought will be lost.

I am lucky, I have friends and I am surrounded by love and great things.
As my life is structured now, a week alone is not in the cards. Does everyone have this need for time alone? How do you ask for it without hurting someone's feelings?

The Battle of Afghanistan's Women

Hello!

At the moment I am reading this book by Antonio Giustozzi called Koran, Kalashnikov, and Laptop - The Neo-Taliban Insurgency in Afghanistan. I am not done reading it and it is not the book itself I wanna write about, instead I would like to point the headlights at this amazing organization called Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA).

This organization has existed since the 1970's and was formed by one woman called Meena. It is an independent political/social organization of Afghan women fighting for human rights and social justice in Afghanistan.

The organization has shown a lot courage and you should go and check out their website at:
