Many of the Prophets spent time alone; in silence and solitude. Yusuf (as) spent years as a prisoner before he became a minister of Egypt. The Prophet (s) would spend days in the Cave of Hira; simply contemplating and reflecting over the struggles of his society before he was granted Prophethood. Yunus (as) had to endure the darkness of a whales belly before he returned to his people; stronger in his vision and mission.
Maybe Allah is preparing you for your mission. Through your hardships, through your struggles, and in your moments alone. Take them as opportunities to learn, to experience, to think, to contemplate; for they are all moments that will shape who you become and that will breathe life into your greater pursuit and vision.
To the catapillar, the chrysalis is but a period of darkness and struggle, yet if it hadn't experienced those moments alone, how then would it have blossomed into a beautiful butterfly and brought more colour and smiles to our world?
