On Being Alone But Not Lonely.


As we grow up we developed the need of being in company of people who validate our actions ;  care about our feelings and comfort us at any given time. 
There will be times when you're left alone; all by your own. It will be not always our choice; for example divorce, breakup, moving to live by your own or even loss. It's scary for many of us to be alone; we relate to be alone with loneliness which is not the same.  Being alone is not too comfortable at the beginning, hard to get use to be with yourself.many of us avoid it at any cost . Some of us being alone is boring, uncomfortable and depressing. We just don't know how to behave and feel comfortable.  What we ignore is that being in solitude it's a huge opportunity to know better ourselves; to be comfortable with who we are. It should be taken as a opportunity to development and growth as a human being. There's so much gained from learning to rely, and more importantly, to trust your own inner voice as the best source of your own guiandance.
It allows you to drop your " social guard " giving you the freedom to be introspective to think for yourself. It gives you the ability to make better choices and decisions about who you are without any outside influence.


As you get comfortable with your own company; you became more aware of what you truly want in a relationship, but also to be happy with yourself which is important if you want a deeper and meaningful relationship with other person.
The bottom line is that you cannot possibly have a healthy relationship with others if you haven't learned to have a healthy relationship with yourself.
Give yourself the gift of your own time and energy --- there's nothing more worth it.
