"Solitude is not the absence of love, but the presence of Self."

"Unknown" ...BUT Such TRUTH!!!

I could have never made it that simple!

I've noticed this trend of self-reliance, and I wanted to share my own experiences. I've noticed that I rely on others as a means of trying to find happiness within myself, or I wait for others to make me happy.

As I analyze how I feel, I realize that I'm waiting for someone to come into my life to provide for me all the things that I can provide for myself, like a sense of understanding and completeness that makes me feel as though nothing was ever wrong with me.

I always expect others to put me first, even if I'm not someone who can consistently put them first. It's like I want the attention and validation, but I can't provide it back, especially to the extent that others want it.

Recently, instead of finding happiness within others, I've been learning to find happiness within myself. I've been learning to do little things that make me happy and bring me joy, just learning to take care of myself more.

I've been showing myself more love and patience, trying to commit to myself and take care of myself more. I recognize my flaws, pay attention to my health, and align with my beauty and sense of self. I have to do better for myself, for others, and for my future children.

Every day, I remind myself that instead of finding a missing piece within someone else, I need to find that missing piece within myself.

So I ask myself; What is it that I really need? What is it that I really want? How can I obtain and attract these things? How can I focus more energy on myself?

The best thing that I can do at this time is to continue pouring love into myself, taking the time to really get to know myself, and figure out what my true desires and feelings are, instead of letting others control and dictate my life.

I'm trying to work on my future self so that she can rely on herself and not need a man, like all the other women before me have.

Weird is a side-effect of awesome

I don’t know why but I am feeling rejuvenated today. I’m not sure if its because its a new year or the fact that it is payday or that I actually feel a little free from all my bullshit baggage after just taking time to do self-care. Been reading self help books because I think they make a difference in how you see things. Doing things that bring a smile to my face and it does help that it was payday. 

Good start today for it being 2021 and all. Hope everyone has a good day because today seems like a day to have a good day, if that make sense.
