Build Resilience by Being Alone

Being alone does not mean I am lonely. There is a BIG difference. I have family and friends who I spend adequate amounts of time with. After all, relationships are a healthy part of life and very necessary for a person’s social wellbeing. But learning to be alone has provided me with the confidence to go against the grain sometimes. It has given me permission to not follow the crowd because it is the popular thing to do. And it has given me the power to stand up for what I believe in and be who I genuinely am as a human being.
