The word alone sounds quite terrifying sometimes. It has the weight of other fears attached to it. That to be alone is not a choice but a consequence. The truth is that many of us fear this basic need. As if to be alone is punishment. You have probably heard that the only person that will always be there for you, is yourself. In this chaotic thrilling world, the only certainty we have is – me. This is why you must be alone.
Alone doesn´t mean lonely
To chose to be alone doesn’t mean you are a lonely person. A lonely person does not feel the joy of their own company. A person that chooses to be alone, does it as a pleasurable choice. Why? You need to be alone to heal your scars. To actually understand every mechanism inside you. Those lost messages in our daily life. Who will evaluate you? Who can actually open your brain and see all the codded needs? Yourself!
If you don´t like a good me time, why will others want one with you? The best thing about kidnapping yourself is that the world won´t be able to influence you. When you are alone you can enter a bubble that no one can control.
