Lonely ? Love it.

I don't know why being alone terrified some people. I use to think being alone was boring and that I needed someone in my life to keep me company. I started to learn that being alone means that you simply enjoy who you are as a person. I know not everyone sees it that way, but it's an excellent way to start you journey to self-love. I know for a long time I struggled with being content with who I am. I am now 23 years old, and I went through 2 terrible years, but I wouldn't exchange them for anything in the world. The things that helped me love who I am broke me down. However, if I didn't go through this stuff, then I wouldn't understand the value of peace and being alone in my space. When you are comfortable being by yourself, you learn to love new things about yourself. You can embrace the real you that you may be too scared to show anyone else. People also fear sitting in silence. When you sit in silence, that's when your thoughts are the loudest, and sometimes it's things people are too scared to face. When you remove your fear and step out of your comfort zone of being alone, you'll learn to love all the things that life has to offer. I am becoming so content being alone that it's almost scary. I don't even need anyone around me to be fully entertained or happy. I've come to notice that using people to fill voids in my life only made my situation worse. I can't rely on people to fill me up or make me unbelievably happy. People are going to change every day and sometimes they will do things that aren't the greatest. When you spend time with yourself, you learn new things about you, and you learn what you'll put up with from people throughout your working relationships, family relationships, friendships and significant others. Self-love plays a vital role in being content with being alone. Learn just to accept who you are and be open to trying new things by yourself. It's going to take the time to get used to this new way of life. I am so glad that I'm single and I can enjoy my company. I need peace and space to continue to growth and focus on the things God has for me. Right now at this very moment, I love being alone and enjoying learning new things about me every day.

BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND
