Dust Settles, You Don't
What Every Single Person Should Know About Being Alone
You should always know the difference between what you are getting and what you deserve. And too often we sign up for packages a lot lighter than what we ordered.
We water ourselves down to match our reality and what is available and around us at the moment. Even worse, we stay stuck in what we think is the only option out here for us. Forgetting that what’s out there is bigger and better than the university you go to, or the job you work at, or the state you live in.
It’s impossible to heal in the same environment you got sick. In broken relationships, it’s important to know when to let go so something more beautiful can come and grow in it’s place.
Know what you bring to the table. Be comfortable and enjoy eating alone before inviting others to dinner. Stop feeding people who take their plate to go. And starve your distractions.
In the end, relationships don’t improve your singleness it exposes it. If you aren’t comfortable being alone then it’s inevitable being in a relationship will cause a level of discomfort. Know who you are as an individual. What makes you tick, what drives you. Know what you want for yourself because it’s easier to discern what you want from others. You can only love and appreciate others on the level you love yourself.
Someone will be willing to put you first so don’t settle for someone who will put you next.
