Alone is an anchoring, a healing - a reminder that the love you find within yourself will be yours forever, a reminder that you have the capacity to be your own home. Alone is a ruthless dedication to understanding your heart and fighting for what compels it after years of allowing for it to be loved in halves. Alone is knowledge, in yourself and in your hopes. It is a foundation, a steady ground within yourself that will be there whether or not you are in a relationship, or you get a good morning text. Alone is not a weakness, it is not something to be ashamed of. This is your reminder that alone is not synonymous with not good enough. Sometimes we forget that the love we have always sought in others can first, and foremost, be found within ourselves. But when we focus so much on finding that feeling externally, sometimes we forget that we can give it to ourselves as well. It’s beautiful to want to love, to want to experience so much at the hands of life with the people who make you feel seen and heard and at peace within this world. ![]() ![]() Learning how to be alone does not mean that you need to shut out the world, that you need to never ask for help, that you need to be closed off and removed from connection. It is why we have evolved and survived for so long as a species. We need meaningful relationships, we need that interaction. At the end of the day, we need one another. You don’t have to vilify yourself for maybe finding it hard to love yourself, or to be okay on your own. And that is something you don’t have to be ashamed of. And that is why alone is considered something that is uncomfortable, and something that most human beings avoid. We can fill our lives to the brim with other people, with being busy, with work, with scrolling, with so many energetically and time consuming things, that we never really have to sit with ourselves and be alone with ourselves if we don’t want to.īut I always ask this: “Who are you when you’re alone with your mind? And are you happy? When the world is quiet, and the distraction and the noise is stopped, what is asking to be felt? Do you feel at home with yourself?” We don’t have to learn how to be alone with ourselves, because we never really are. We live in a world where we are constantly being fed so many distractions. ![]() However, I know that the journey back home to yourself, the journey towards being comfortable, and at peace, on your own, and learning how to hold your own heart, and hold your own space, in a way that doesn’t scare you, but rather, in a way that empowers you, isn’t easy. The love you find within yourself will be yours forever.
