To those who may feel alone,

Take heart.

It could be easy to say to yourself,

“If only”

Or “Why me?”

But sometimes

The beauty of solitude

Is liberation

From dependency.

The feeling that

You can accomplish anything

And everything you want,

With your own two hands,

Your mind,

And maybe Google Search.

You can go anywhere

Because your familiar feet

Draw you to new and unexpected places.

If you’re looking

for answers or happiness,

and waiting on another to provide them

Maybe

you’re waiting on yourself first.
