Be alone

“It is only alone, truly alone, that one bursts apart and springs forth.”

Being surrounded by people allows us to feel comfortable. We feel safe, secure, stable, and know we have people to fall back on. When things aren’t going well, we know who we can talk to. There are so many perks to have people around, so why would it be good to be alone? Being alone helps you discover things that you cannot possibly discover with others around. We learn things about ourselves when we are alone. When you learn to be alone first, you become better around others. 

My vulnerable self hates to be alone. I find my heart searching for someone to talk to, any sort of companionship where I can get my mind off of the solitude I am facing. I have to convince myself that being alone will build me into the person I need to be. No person can make me feel how I can make myself feel, and that’s how it should be. When it comes down to it, you are alone when you are born and you are alone when you die. There will be nobody with you. Embrace being alone. Embrace yourself and become happy with building yourself.

Key: Love yourself before loving others.

As humans, we long for companionship. We want to love someone. After all, love is the best feeling we can experience. So why hold back from loving others before loving yourself? Until you have fully loved yourself, you are unable to fully love others as you should. Being young in relationships, I realized this quickly. I latched on quickly wanting to feel something, but couldn’t continue because I never loved myself first. 

Growing up we begin to learn how good solitude is. We learn that it is okay to be by ourselves. We learn to respect our own company, then we realize how to love others. This is the only way to truly love to your full potential.
