Lonely Nights
I’ve had many times in my life where I could say I felt lonely, more times than I would like to admit.. Haven’t we all? I mean, I still do, and I never thought I would say I’m thankful for feeling that way over and over again, but I am. Being broken and alone taught me how to make myself happy. I mean, I can’t tell you how many times hearing “no one can make you happy but yourself” made me want to rip my hair out, but it’s true. There is so much truth in that statement that it almost makes my stomach turn because of how long I waited do that exactly for myself. Whether that comes to friendships, relationships, or just day to day life.
Yes, people can help make you feel better, cheer you up, or make your day. DONT GET ME WRONG. Keep those people around, hold ‘em close. Keep people around that make your life better, but don’t rely on those people to feed your happiness and keep you content. The sad truth is people can leave, people move forward. In the end, you can only rely on yourself. I’ve learned to accept the bad for what it is, the good for the good, and me for me. Change is constantly happening, we are always evolving. What is life all about if we are constantly learning lessons?
Being lonely doesn’t have to be so negative. Seriously you guys, days/nights/time to yourself is SO nice and SO necessary. I remember thinking if I didn’t have plans on the weekend, I needed to scramble to find some, avoid being by myself, and think I was a major loser if I didn’t go out and actually do something. Now, literally, I looooove a Saturday movie night alone. Yes. I did just admit that! I used to always say I was “comfortable being alone.” When I’d say it out loud, I swear, people would look at me like I was insane. Some of you probably are thinking that I am right now ahaha. Someone, tell me why there is such a negative connotation behind that because I’m lost!
I guess my point to this lengthy, probably boring, ranty post is get comfortable with yourself pointblankperiod. Be comfortable being alone. Be comfortable having a lonely night. Be comfortable with being broken during the moments you are. Because you are great, there is only one of you, and I promise you that you can’t change who you are because you are authentically, amazingly you.
