The Difference Between Solitude and Loneliness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this reflective morning essay, Alex explores the quiet but important difference between solitude and loneliness.
Through the story of a man living alone at the end of a gravel road, this episode considers how two experiences that look identical from the outside can feel entirely different within. A single chair. A quiet porch. A house set back from the world. Is it isolation—or is it peace?
Rather than offering advice or easy answers, this episode gently examines the relationship we have with our own company, and how the meaning of “alone” often depends on the story we’re telling ourselves.
A calm, narrative meditation on presence, connection, and the inner landscape we carry with us—whether we’re surrounded by others or sitting quietly at dawn.
