I know this: I need time alone - where 8 million people aren't constantly nagging at me at all times and all hours of the day and night.

Most of the hours in the day this is what happens.
But I need a break from all this.
(Actually the more, the better.)

My greatest fear in living with another is my "quiet time", "alone time" being invaded.

I need this time to recuperate.
I rest, or sleep, mostly rest.

But I need it and if people barge in on me constantly nagging at me all the time never letting me have my peace, my rest, I cannot live like this.

I like living alone the most, because I can get the most peace this way.

But I want to love.

I fear love means trading away your peace, your quiet time, your time to rest, sleep, and recuperate from all the troubles and daily grind in life.

This is what I fear. I don't know if it's true.

But I do fear it might be and if so, how can I possibly live with love if I can't have time to get some peace and quiet, and rest and sleep?
