Alone- Together

“Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life’s cruelest irony.”

Loneliness: A tricky condition, because you can be alone in a room full of people

The day of celebrating Valentine’s is over, well love should be celebrated every day. Did you celebrate Valentine’s Day with your partner or alone? Either or, I hoped you were in good spirit and made memorable memories. Yes, if you didn’t have a partner, you could have celebrated with your friends, family and even celebrate yourself. Love is a divine energy, an energy that you can portrait on to yourself. Love is about inner need and feeling happiness. 

If you were alone on Valentine’s Day, there’s no need to feel lonely. Loneliness can happen anytime, anywhere, but don’t let it consume you. Don’t emotionally and socially  isolate yourself and complain about being alone and feeling lonely. Being alone and being lonely are two different kinds of feelings. Stop having low opinions of yourself. Remember you are intelligent, unbroken, wanted, attractive, and worthy of every good thing that will happen to you. Nothing is wrong about needing solitude; from time to time, all of us need to spend some time on our own. I know it takes time to love yourself and it takes even more time to love someone. We all desire love in any form, whether it is with family, friends, or a romantic partner.
