Often mistaken one for another.

You want want a better life, better outcomes, better relationships, but avoid the simplest thing of all - spending time with yourself.

I remember the times when I was clingy, emotionally attached, scared of doing things by myself or being alone. Like being on my own was unacceptable and I had to feel down for not having anyone around. Many tears, self harm and wasted energy. It thought me to look deeper into the mirror. To listen to the silence. To first acknowledge how I feel, then relate to the outside world.

I know many who are afraid of being alone, or feel strange to do things on their own. But how do you learn about yourself, how can you get to know yourself if you don’t spent time only with yourself by yourself?

Solitude is not loneliness. It’s a luxurious private retreat where you get to know the real You. The one that you often tent to hide. The one that has secrets only you know about. The one that has never betrayed you and always walked by your side. The one that loves you, even when you don’t know how to love yourself.
