50 Blissful Things to Do When You Are Alone
The relationship you have with yourself is just as important as any other relationship you'll have with anyone else. In the same way, you'd work on your friendship or relationship you have with your partner.
The bond you have with yourself requires work.
It requires time, understanding, forgiveness and love. When I'm alone, that's what I really get to find out how I feel about myself. There's no other person in the room to drive out any underlying insecurities or another voice talking over my moment of celebration.
