If being single is fun and exciting, being alone is content and calm. If being single is full of romance, being alone is full of self-discovery.

Most of us are scared to talk about our feelings, to be vulnerable because we don’t know what would happen.

This was never meant to be your love story.

I might not be happy this way, but I’m certainly comfortable this way.

Even though I’m an independent woman who doesn’t need a relationship to feel fulfilled, the truth is that I don’t want to fall asleep alone. I want someone beside me, holding me tight, comforting me when I jolt awake from nightmares. 

Everything you have, you have earned yourself. Nothing was handed to you.

Despite what your anxiety tells you, you are worthy of being loved. 

Sometimes you need to be alone with the universe so you can learn how to be your own universe when people fail to give meaning to your life because as long as you keep searching for meaning in the universe and as long as you keep searching for answers within yourself, you will surely find them.

You have enough strength to survive without a boyfriend or a best friend.

We try to fill the void. Some write. Some reach for the pill bottle. Others run until their feet blister, work until dawn, or drink until they can’t see. We go to bed with strangers, and enter relationships with completely wrong people.
