being alone is awesome
do you ever have moments where you fear of being alone? perhaps you see your friends thriving with a mortgage, a husband and a child. you then start to compare yourself to them and wonder where you went wrong. you ensure you're busy with an action packed weekend of constantly doing something so you're never thinking about how alone you are. it didn't always used to be this way. you used to be content doing nothing. two days off work used to mean playing super mario odyssey and you were happy.
let me let you in on a secret, there's nothing wrong with being alone.
your friend that's constantly posting about how happy she is with her husband & kids is just one side they want you to see. you don't see the part where they're arguing and the kid is driving them up the wall every single day. social media is a lie most of the time. it's easier said than done but don't compare yourself to anyone!!
a good 85% of my trips abroad have been solo travel and i wouldn't have it any other way. yes sometimes you want to share a moment with someone, but the freedom feels so much better. doing whatever you want vs. compromising is the best feeling.
i had the house to myself today, just me and my dog. i spent a lot of time reading (i finished my book yay!) and recharging. i used to worry a lot about being alone or doing nothing with my time off but i'm slowly finding ways to fill my time, doing things that make me happy & worry less about the future.
being alone is awesome and so am i!
