The Author's Corner: Lone Wolf

To be a lone wolf take a lot of strength and a fearless heart. Walking the path that is less taken is what makes the character of the person who walks alone. We see these people at the tops for their chosen career and on a personal level there are unseen because they prefer the quietness of being on their own, it is very addictive as I have experienced it many times in my life.

With very few friends in their lives, they know that those who are their friends are real. The reason why they walk alone comes down to many reasons. For each person who is a lone wolf their reasons are different when it comes to what they are going to do in their life.

As for me, I have few friends, and I prefer walking alone to reach the goals and dreams that I have. My reasons are because of past experiences in my life where I was alone a lot of the time and managed without many personal connections. Even when I moved to take my Culinary Arts course in Edmonton, I kept a distance with those I was in class with and when I was working, I did the same.  I did it because that is what I needed to do for me as I was dealing with a great deal of abuse from my past.

In this time that we have here in this world, we see fewer people who walk their own way. The lone wolfs in the world are slowly becoming less seen because of what we have in today’s society. There are smart phones all the way up to A.I. and society today is lived on social media, something that a lone wolf does not need.

The lone wolfs today have the ability to vanish by just turning off from social media and living their own lives, something that we could all learn from them. That is what the real people who follow their own lives do now. There are some who avoid the media in all ways and focus on their own goals and dreams that they have. Something that I myself can not express more to being able to see my own goals and dreams come to life.

This moment in history will be left to those who dare to be different. They achieve their highest of levels in there life and do not let anyone to stop them. Most people when reaching their goals and dreams have to say thanks for those people who have been there to support them along the way. A lone wolf just continues down their path without showing any reaction of what they have just done because it was themselves that were pushing to reach them.

There comes a time in everyone’s live when they have a choice of which path they want to take. Most will go with what the group and society dictate for them. For the ones who become lone wolfs, there is a greater feeling of self. That is what being a lone wolf is, it is about being yourself at all time and not taking instructions on how to live your life from others and society.

When the end comes, the lone wolf will just continue to walk as they are their own judge for their life. Those of us who walk alone are some of the most down to earth and connected to their spirit. As the final days come to an end, the lone wolf has already accepted their death many years before it has come because they understand that you are born into this world alone and you will pass alone.

Over the years for me, I have seen my dreams come true and I still walk on. I have had my battles with society, however I never gave in. Before you judge someone who is a lone wolf, walk in their shoes to understand who they are and why they have chosen that path.

Stay safe.
