This is a tough time for you. You feel alone, and you don’t know how to talk to others about what you are going through. Alone is not a bad thing; it is a perfect thing. Alone gives you a chance to reflect and evaluate your choices. It’s time to think about what you want from life and how to make it happen.
Being alone can be a powerful state of mind and can give you the freedom to do what you want. It is important to know when to be with people and when to be by yourself.
The best way to find solace in solitude is by living deliberately while doing small things for yourself every day that help make you feel happier and more fulfilled. You don’t need anyone else’s validation or approval for these small things to feel better about yourself.
