The challenge of living alone is discovering how to become a great companion to oneself. One can find the companion that is so companionable as solitude. Solitude helps you know yourself.
Being alone helps you become more comfortable in your own skin. Solitude is much more about self-examination and self-observation. Being alone can be challenging and trying at first. But it is an opportunity for so much healing, identity-shaping, and self-awareness. Because sometimes, the only time we are forced to look within is when nothing is distracting us outwardly. Solitude isn’t the absence of the commotion; it’s the absenteeism of the distraction. Spending time alone keeps you away from hustling and bustling. Quiet space allows you to think about your goals, progress, and changes you want to make.

So cherish living alone.
