It's ok to be alone edited

In being alone, you give yourself the gift of peace. The solitude in its utmost form. It’s okay
to be alone because you learn how to make yourself happy without the need for somebody
else. You learn how to enjoy things without being forced to please others.
Solitude is often associated with an endless stream of loneliness and despair. But here’s
the thing: solitude is not the same thing as loneliness. Where the former is intentional, the
latter is completely out of the subject’s control.
Solitude is often mistaken for loneliness when it’s a whole different beast.
altogether.
When you are alone, you set boundaries of protection. It doesn’t mean you are afraid of
pain. It doesn’t mean you deprive yourself of the necessary vulnerability. It doesn’t mean
you can’t get out of your comfort zone. But it’s for you to dodge recurring troubles
caused by being too open, too exposed to insensitive people. You’ve just become wise
enough not to let everyone trespass your borders because you know not everyone has the
best intentions for you. In being alone, you build high walls and guard yourself.
Alone is tantamount to independent. No matter what you go through, you count on
yourself the most. You don’t just cry and ask for help. You don’t just let others fix everything
for you. You never tend to be desperate. You never squander the time by waiting and
looking for someone to be there for you; instead, you find the very solution for your struggle
using your very own wisdom.
It’s okay to be alone whenever it’s your birthday, whenever it’s Christmas, New Year’s Eve,
Valentine’s, or whatever celebration there is. Celebrating on your own may be sad to the
eyes of the typical world, but this just shows maturity (because you know happiness doesn’t
just depend on the people around you), contentment (because you appreciate yourself
enough), and bravery (because you don’t actually let others bother you with what they
think).
To them, it may be selfishness, pride, cynicism, or simply anti-socialism. But the truth is, you
are soft-hearted; you’re a listener, a thoughtful soul. Once you finally
Open up your heart; you lavishly pour it all out. You know how to truly love. You are
someone worth the chase. Someone whose walls are meant to be shattered only by the
people you deserve. People who can respect that deep, vast world you’re in. People who
are sensitive enough to know you need the space and time on your own. People who can
understand your idealistic principles.
Don’t be afraid of those who always mock you for being lonely, pitiful, friend-less, love-less.
You know you are not. You know those are lies. They are just coming from the shallow
people who can never be as strong as you are.
At the end of the day, what matters most is being able to devote time to yourself, away from
outside influences, to just accept yourself, to be yourself, and to ultimately act on your
deepest ambitions, regardless of what they may be.
So, I’m telling you once again, it’s okay to be alone. Because being alone is a
superpower not everyone has.
