Why It's OK to be Alone.

Source

Ok.  I admit it.  This is me trying to convince myself why.  Sometimes I would enumerate in my head these reasons but ended up sliding down to this cushion of sadness, and then snapping myself out of it again by remembering the list I've made just seconds ago, forgetting some points along the way.  And this goes on and on especially when I'm in places I haven't been to before or when I'm in a social event, like earlier there was a band playing right in front of Araneta Colliseum, so spectators including me crowd around them.  I happened to be standing at the back of 2 couples snuggling close to each other.  And you know how this situation feels. It was all the feels.  All the bad feels that is.

So here I am , low and bitter, trying to come up with a list - this time a written one - hoping in the end I could have a very good argument why it is OK to be alone.

- They say that successful people are masters of perception.  So instead of me branding my being solo as "alone" I should instead call it "adventurer" or "independent" or "empowered".

Not convinced: I'd surely be happier when with a company, and wouldn't trade a good conversation with a feeling of empowerment... whatever that means.

- When people have time to think negatively, they aren't doing what they're supposed to do.  A wake up call to get back to the essential which are pursuing dreams and fulfilling responsibilities for self an others.

Makes sense...

- Just because you don't have a partner who affirms your existence or who would remind you that you're loved, doesn't mean you're not loveable.  The lack of affirmation doesn't make you less of a person. If no one shows you that, it's a need for you to show it to yourself by loving yourself more.  Exercise, eat right, and again pursue your dreams.  You have a lot of things to do.  So get off the negaland and get back to your own.  Do your thing!

Spirits up! Up and awayyy!

So in conclusion, the pain of sadness could be a good determinant that you're not loving yourself enough. 

Focus on your time and energy on becoming a better and productive you and everything would be easier.
