Lonely Is a Feeling, Not A Circumstance

Sometimes it may have nothing to do with a lack of company, but rather a wall we put up ourselves.

The fear of loneliness can drive us to compromise who we are, thinking it will  open us up to other people. The reality is, we’re only further trapping our true selves in a shell of someone else. That furthers us from our most important relationship, the one with our self.

The more time we spend getting to know ourselves, the better equipped we’ll be to determine our compatibility with others. It will also make us less dependent   on others to fill a void, allowing us to have healthy relationships based on more than simply quelling our fear of loneliness.

You can feel lonely in a crowded room, or at peace in secluded solitude.  Depending on others to determine that can be a fickle game; relationships die     and change like the seasons.

Love yourself before you concern yourself with the love of others. Love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
