Alone and New Planet

For "Blog City Prompt Forum" 
Prompt: Do you like being alone or do you like being around people?


-----

I don’t like being alone all the time because I like people in general. I think we are an interesting species as human beings. Sometimes I think our brains need mutation toward some nicer behavior and happier, more positive feelings. I am sometimes annoyed at drama queens and those who cry and carry on at the drop of a hat.

Having said that, being around people non-stop, all the time, tires and stuns me. Eventually, I act like a zombie because I seem to absorb all their undercurrents and vibes. Even people I love, I need a breather from. I don't know why this is, but it is the truth.

In short, I like to be with people but I also like to take recesses from them, too. I need to be alone and decompose at least for a little while.

Prompt: You have discovered a new planet. Describe what it looks like and what you found.

Boy! Would I love to go to another planet, especially now. I do love the planet earth, though. I don’t know about discovering one. I don’t have such grand ambitions.

A new earth-like planet would be heavenly, especially if it can skip the year 2020.

I think there’s a curse on 2020, and I am not saying this because of the personal loss I had to go through. Look at what’s happening to the world.

Then, today, I had an appointment in the next town to which I was driving. There’s a bridge connecting the two towns. The bridge broke down, large blocks fell from it, and I had to return home. That bridge has been there for more than 25 years. It doesn’t seem that it will be fixed for weeks. Now, I have to find an alternate route, which will add at least an hour to the route that usually takes 10 minutes.

As I said, a new planet would be Godsend.
