What would be in your thoughts in a journey… alone?

hello sreekala! when i am traveling alone, the usual things that comes to my mind are the things that i will be doing on the place where i am going...hehe when i was still working, i have almost an hour travel from home to office and during that time, its either i am sleeping or just thinking on what to do in the office and how will be my day will turn to... but there are also times that i don't think such things, but instead, i am reminiscing some happy memories in the past or just recent things that happens to me and those thoughts can really makes me smile alone! and sometimes, i just enjoy the scenery outside and not thinking anything...just relaxing my mind... so everything depends on my mood in a particular day! happy posting!

Hi Sree! I normally drive my bike to reach my office and many a times my better half gives me company. Driving has become a ritual and a sub-conscious activity and we travel by the same roads everyday. I mean driving goes on automatically, and when it is heavy traffic, I slow down, as per the requirements and when there is any empty road, I usually (automatically) accelerate my speed. Nonetheless, thoughts about past happenings, recent happenings, mylot friends, mylot discussions and about daily pending chores keep traveling in mind. I cannot stop flow of thoughts……LOL! Many years ago, I used to come to office by a charted bus. In the bus, we had a group of 3-4 friends and we used to share about our experiences and day-to-day life with each other and time would pass very soon, we would not realize, when we reached our office or home. Compared to previous mode of travel, I find that driving is a big hazard on road and one needs to be super alert, while driving, which adds extra stress and strain on mind. Good Post! Plus rated.

I too think about the past while traveling long distances alone.I prefer train,if not possible then resort to my own vehicle. I too use to think about the embarrassing situations I had confronted and the good old days.Sometimes,as you said,I suddenly become conscious of the one sitting next to me and had to struggle hold back smile.Or if I had the feeling that somebody saw me smiling alone what I do is to pass it off as something happened to my cheeks and correcting it lol.I think it happens to a lot of us.There are times when the involuntary fancies of our brain can't be controlled.

Hi Sree, it's nice to know that you enjoy so much in your 20 journey to the office every morning. From your description I could imagine there is a beautiful lady with smiling face sitting alone in the bus Actually there are lots of thought in her mind...even some are ridiculous... I usually go to work by driving. I never switch off my car radio, so I start the car engine I could hear melodious song on the air. I like singing or humming song which I'm familiar with It's really interesting as well to watch different people doing different activities outside the window. In the 20 minutes or so journey I will pass by some stalls. When seeing people selling fried banana or other delicious foods there I have the thought to taste it. I get excited and keen to get the food. But eventually I don't stop for it as I scare that I might be late for work. But it's sad that when I pass by the stall after my office time the stalls are closed I think I would not be able to resist my temptation and stop to get the tasty food one day lol... Have a wonderful day and happy posting!

Me? a bunch of memories. Most likely it would be how to gain upper hand in our daily lives...thinking some strategies to survive financially in our economic crisis world. Well, sometimes reminiscing some good old days at my younger years. Wishing I could turn back the hands of time...and go back to the past...Thanks

Hi Sreekala, I just commute in going to work alone. Right after i give my fare, i will pray for safety, watch the bus video and then take a nap. I don't mind what's happening around me even my co-passengers-- i am just enjoying my time with myself napping. Don't worry i am half-awake so i will not miss my area.

It is always my childhood days which will run in my mind whenever I travel long distance alone.

I don't travel to work or use public transport at all, but I do a lot of long distance driving, usually by myself, and I love the peace and solitude. I very often drive to the capital which is a 4 hour plus drive and to other places 4 - 6 hours away. I have music playing, but it is usually soft, instrumental music, light classical or Gospel, and does not interfere with my thoughts. I do a lot of thinking and planning in regards to my voluntary work and sometimes even talk to myself, gathering my thoughts. I very seldom get tired, and if I do I change the CD to vocal songs and sing along with them. Driving is a happy experience.

till few months back i used to travel atleast one and half hour in bus to get to my workplace daily.i used to listen to music or radio .depending on the mood i used to introspect about my life and future.sometimes remembered past,friends or family.sometimes just observed the scenery outside or the fellow passengers inside.

When I am alone and lonely not necessarily be on a journey, my mind will wonder in the horizon and bring me to places where I have walked before in the previous chapters of my life like when I was in my teenage days, the sweet experiences that have created great impact in my life and the carefree life that I once enjoyed. I enjoy being alone sometimes as I have the chance to rekindle past memories.

If am travel alone what comes into my mind is that to be there in my destination early than the hour that being set...I'm not thinking about old days but watch outside to see the beauty of nature and the people around the street...

that's really a great time to be alone when on the bus to the office. there are too much things can be done. if not a good sleep in the last night,then u can have a rest on the seat or stand. u also can listen to radio of the musics or news. and watch the scenes or people passing by, think what u want to think, recall the old days, plan the future, ...really too much.

I like time by myself, so being alone doesn't bother me.

I travel well and I used to think about different things like my future and my past and present often but mostly I listen to music or sleep. Often when i am active, I observe things and people. Often I start chat with co-passengers.

Hello Sreekala! I drive myself to work and it's a short drive from my place to work. While on my way, I think about the things or activities that I will require of my students for a given day. Sometimes, I just enjoy everything I see while on my way. I end up just observing everything I see on the way. At times, I also think of whatever happened in the past few days.

When I am travelling alone I may admire nature .But at the same time my mind will be wool gathering.So many things pass in my mind .First of all I am one who always plans her shedule ahead .So I will plan as usual.Then my mind races to my mistakes ,to my children and to what I should have done .Ofcourse I will think og my school days and college days my parents ,teachers,friends ,relations .

Usually I think about the destination or just about anything that comes to my mind.

I often travel alone in thinking so that anly fast until the purpose

Hi sreekala Like you, I too used to think the past things and laugh to myself recollecting the bygone days, jokes, incidents and some times I will enjoy the beauty of nature and used to plan my days schedule and any unforgettable incidents.
