Being Alone

"It is better to be alone than to wish you were." - Ann Landers, columnist

Been there, done that, and it wasn't fun. My problem was I feared being alone. So I stayed in unhealthy relationships longer than necessary. That led me to an even lonelier place, longing for things to change but not knowing how to make it happen.

I have learned to be okay with me today . I have some wonderful friends who showed me how to do this. They loved me until I could love myself enough to recognize my value as a person. I have come to like spending time alone with me, doing the things I want to do when I want to do them. I have come to understand that I do not need validation from other people to know that I am worthy of happiness, prosperity, love, and abundance. The only thing I need to do every day is to be the best possible person I can be. Every day cannot be perfect, but every day is a gift and for that I am truly grateful.
