Learning How to Be Alone
Even though I desperately want to be in a relationship with someone... I know that now would not be the right time. There wouldn't be a chance for me to provide a girlfriend with everything she needs. I have a lot of love to give and it's not going to go away any time soon. So it can wait.
I just have to learn how to be alone.
I don't know for how long. I really don't. I just know I need to work on being happy again.
I hate that I let all my happiness hinge on one single person, especially a person who wasn't a stable partner.
Anyway, a friend of mine sent me this:
I adore this video!
So, now I'm thinking I need to dust off my guitar and sign up for lessons. Pick up my laptop and head to Borders and start pounding the keys to get this script idea together that I'm co-writing with another one of my friends.
I'm going to be okay without her. I was doing okay before I met her. I will be better than okay after her. I just have to start making sure that happens.
What kinds of things make you truly happy, other than your relationships?

So inspiring! I feel the same way you do because I just got out of a year long relationship and sometimes I feel so lonely. I've decided I'm going to get in shape by going to the gym and start playing piano again. I've also started blogging again which is something I haven't done for a long time. I don't have many friends around here so it's a constant battle to keep myself busy. Thanks for posting this :)
You will be just fine... Everything is going to be just fine. :)
My cat makes me happy. ^^
One day, friend and I sat down and made a list all the things that made of happy, other than boys... It was an interesting and eye-opening experience...
That video is so uplifting.
Pets, crafting, reading, exploring...
It is possible to try to learn how to be alone (like comfortable-by-yourself alone) and still be in a relationship. I know I have found the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with, and for the most part I am confident and comfortable being alone. Just from time to time I get insecure and I know in those aspects I do need to learn how to be comfortable being by myself. Delving into my hobbies and interests and keeping those going. I've developed a thing for scrapbooking, and while it's expensive, it is the one hobby I will not let myself give up.
oh wow, that video was beautiful! thanks for sharinggg!
Running and reading make me the happiest :)
Reading, writing, hanging with friends..that sort of thing..
I don't know if this is ironic, but I have a boyfriend, yet I am SO ALONE ALL OF THE TIME. Anyway, I get along, but sometimes I feel like I'm going insane. I am terrified of people.
Hiking. Always feels good to be outside exploring.
very inspiring, thanks for sharing the video! =] i should go pick up some novels and start reading again. writing is always a great way to make myself feel better. you'll be okay. go and enjoy the time you have!
Wow, my friend sent me this video two months ago when my ex-boyfriend and i broke up. i've been going to borders with my laptop... lol.
The woman who wrote that poem and created that video is from my little town, I've meet her several times x)
