Are you alone or lonely?

ALONE OR LONELY?

Being alone and being lonely are two completely different things. Being alone means you have no one to wake up to in the mornings, no one to call when you wanna share some news, or to kiss goodnight. Being lonely means living in a world where we can't escape ourselves and only want something that isn't our own company.

Just because we don't have someone doesn't mean we should be lonely.

Being alone gives us the freedom to explore the world on our own terms. We don't follow anyone and   don't have to worry about anyone trying to keep up.
The great thing about being alone is that we get to discover things about ourselves that we thought never existed. We get to see what makes us happy and enjoy the natural bliss of being alive and well.
By being alone we can do anything we want. ANYTHING.

Just because we don't have someone doesn't mean we should be lonely.

From experience I know how hard it can be to be alone. Not having that special someone. Sometimes we just yearn for love, and that's ok.
No matter how hard you might think it is to be alone, you'll get through it. We can stop kissing frogs and wait for the one.
Waiting has never been my strong suit and I wonder if it'll ever be my turn. I always wonder if time will ever give up and send the one I've been waiting for all my life into my arms.

We don't have to be lonely just because we're alone. 

Being alone can bring peace to your mind and body, until it becomes a punishment. We feel like we're the one to blame for being alone. Like we're running out of choices or there's no where else to go, nothing to do. And because we think like that, is the reason we're still alone.

We have a choice. We don't have to be lonely.

I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT



The holidays are amongst us once again, and let's face it some of us are still single. The worst part about being single are the cringe-worthy comments and questions everyone throws at you. Here are some of the worst and most cliche I've ever heard:

1. The ever so popular, "Honestly, you're great alone."

reaction frustrated facepalm seriously stressed

2. We can't forget, "Just give it time, you'll find someone!"

wait waiting shrek impatient anticipation

3. "Oh wait! I totally know someone I can set you up with."



4. Have you tried Match.com, Tinder, ChristianMingle.com?"

cringe

5. "You should totally come with us on our date." Like really, who likes being the third wheel.



6. "Why do you think you're single?"



No matter which one of these is used on you, remember, being single is awesome. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.
