Loud Silence
Being alone teaches you a lot.
It teaches you to be independent. To get things done, to take care of yourself. To make up your mind, to work hard for your own betterment. To not wait for others to do things for you but do it yourself.
Being alone lets you decide for your own. When things mess up, you can鈥檛 justify your own lapses. You can鈥檛 blame anyone else because you鈥檙e the one making the choices. It teaches you to be accountable.
Being alone helps you know yourself more. How much you can do and how far you can go if you just put your heart on what you鈥檙e doing. It makes you realize the things you care about. Your values, your dreams, your triggers. Who you are when you鈥檙e on your best and when you鈥檙e stressed. It makes you love yourself more.
Being alone is fun, but that doesn鈥檛 mean always.
There are also times when you won鈥檛 love being alone. Times when you鈥檙e body is giving up but there鈥檚 no one to take care of you but yourself. Times when you can鈥檛 give yourself advice or motivation and you can鈥檛 ask others either. Times when you want to share your wins and loses but there鈥檚 no one to tell them to. Times when you鈥檙e too tired to function but there鈥檚 no one else who can do the work. When you have to take care of everything on your own. To shoulder every baggage on your own. Times when you feel so heavy and you just want a tight hug to feel seen and heard or simply matter but the only thing you can do is to sleep over it and wish it fades with your dreams. Times when you feel so distant and disconnected. Times when you feel so alone.
Being alone is freeing, but it sure does involve a lot of crying.
