Being single is both liberating and isolating at times. It’s the time you’re most aware that #1 person is you. You’re the one you have to count on––to get through the good and bad. No one else can bring you the validation you’re craving. It has to come within. This is true when we’re single or in a relationship, but when you’re single you’re given the gift of awareness. It’s a blessing and a curse, to have the time to feel and heal. It can feel overpowering, and it’s difficult to see other people in love when it’s something you’re craving.
