The moments you spend with yourself can be the most scary, but also the most meaningful moments you’ll ever have in your life.
You are the most precious person in your life. You should be your closest friend, and your biggest fan.
Do you know why? Because you are the only person that is 24/7 with you. You are with yourself at your lowest, and at your best. You’ve seen yourself in every single moment of your life, and if you’re not gonna be there for yourself, who’s gonna be? Of course, we are social beings, we need to have people around us. But think of the moments when you are by yourself: if you ever get bored with yourself, maybe it’s time to find a new thing to try?
I have always put a huge attention into taking care of myself, but that year, I did a huge reevaluation of my way of thinking.
And so I decided: if there’s gonna be someone close to me, I want them to add to my life; not fill it. So when I meet a friend, I want to be whole. I want to be fully aware of my hobbies, and boundaries and communicate them clearly. If there’s a loving interest that is coming into my life: I don’t want to change my whole life for that person. I want to be whole myself, and I want this person to be whole too.
That way, you can create the most meaningful relationships with people. You know who you are, they know who they are, and you both decide to be there for each other and support each other through ups and downs.
If you are scared to be alone, maybe it’s time to ask yourself: why ?
