What is the best part about being alone?
Umm... I don't know. It could be about anything. Maybe it is about falling in love. With yourself. Everything you liked, everything you thought about, how you pictured your life to be. You can make it anything, you can be anybody. Most of all, you can be you.
There is no one to judge you, no one to stop you. Living life to the fullest, that's what you'll do. Read books, watch movies, love life. Fall in love slowly, fall for yourself. Do what you like and like what you do. Try, for once, living without any compromise and see how you like it. Feel yourself rising above and beyond the human constraints. Feel yourself break free. The world is your oyster and you are living in your bubble. Start loving everything. Listen to your music, sing your tune, live life to your rhythm and if anyone tries to break it, leave them behind. Put yourself first.
I can't put it into words the importance of being your priority. If you can't put yourself first, how do you expect someone else to?
All of us in the world are on a quest to find love and a majority of us are unsuccessful. Why is that? We find companionship and we settle. We compromise. We are so scared of being alone that we end up compromising everything. Along the way, we don't even realize that we have lost ourselves. All our habits and likes that made us who we were, are now gone and all that is left is a shell of a person. Who wants that? Who would love that?
Lesson number one is being who you are. This is the difficult step. Who are you? What makes you, you? What do you like? What do you hate? What do you want? Can you answer these questions? No?
I will give you an easier question. What aren't you? What don't you want? What do you never want to be? Let's start with these and on the way figure out what we really want.
Many a times in our lives we get stuck with what we don't want for multiple reasons. Someone could have forced us, we had an obligation, we had responsibilities, society expected it, family wanted it or any other ten thousand reasons. Stop giving a shit. STOP. What people want is not what you want, so let them go.
You know why people like to get high? It gives them a relief. It is their safe place, where they can be happy, they can be free. They can be themselves.
There is a direct contradiction, what we crave most is what ends up making us unhappy. More often than not, it is the people. People we cared about have this strong hold over us, one wrong word and the entire day goes for a toss. Why give someone that control? How can we know they won't take us for granted? How can we trust someone else to not mess us up?
Again I ask, why take that risk?
You are perfectly capable of loving yourself, then why put yourself out there. Of course there would be happy endings, that is what the books and movies have taught us. But do they exist? Or is happy ending just fiction? Maybe it doesn't exist, maybe it does. Maybe all that exists is a flat line after a lot of compromise.
Why settle?
Why not beat the odds and do what you like? Do everything. Climb a mountain, swim in a sea, jump from the sky and stare off into the space. Fall in love, again and again, fall in love with yourself. Embrace your individuality. Look in the mirror and vow never to betray the person staring back at you. Make yourself a priority and then set your standards.
You can't be alone if you have yourself. After you love and accept everything that makes you, then go out and find someone who would do the same. It is rare and if it happens, it will leave you breathless. Only when you know, love and respect yourself will you be able to have your say in a relationship. You should know how to stand up for yourself and the other person to just stand by you. That is love, that is a relationship. Be enough. Be what you wanted and more. Love, make mistakes and then love all over again. Learn and let go. Forgive yourself. Rise above it, rise about all of it and then love yourself more. Love this life. Make the most of it.
Love Yourself.
