how can we feel good alone?

sometimes my loneliness stems from lacking an external sense of validation. when i'm alone, i feel like something is missing and so working through that sentiment is actually really, really, really good in my journey to becoming a better version of myself, as well as becoming less reliant on others. because at the end of the day, the only relationship you're going to have is the relationship you have with yourself

i know i'm capable of doing all the things i would like to do by myself

*"one day, you'll find someone who will love you more than yourself"*

that's what everyone around me is saying but did you know the greatest love is loving yourself? i grow up being told, *"find someone to grow old with you"* but the older i get, the more i realize it is okay not to grow old with anyone nor have anyone by my side because i have me and that's good enough.

i can live a long life that is still beautiful and meaningful, alone. i can still be happy and enjoy life, i can go museum, listens to music, paint, read or travel by myself.

like, being alone doesn't mean there's no value to marriage or having kids but it also means that the opposite doesn't need to be demonized 'cause sometimes it is so much better to be alone than to be mistreated.. and c'mon, i've been there.. twice.

it's the worse feeling ever and that's when i drew my line.

i do not want to be with anyone but myself because in the end of the day, i truly believes all i need is me.

and no one else.
