Sometimes it’s good to be alone.
Human is a social being with profound emotions. We build relationships to make our lives happy and comfortable. We always need a person to share all your joys and distress . What happens if one day you got up and you realize that you are isolated ?
I was going through the same situation an year ago .I was on my vacation from college . Days were going so smoothly for me .Then the pandemic hit and I was stuck at home with my boring online classes. The cheerful days I had was no longer with me and I was stuck in the four walls of my house .And slowly loneliness started to fill my life . That was the time I realized that ,I don’t own my happiness . I can’t be happy alone .My happiness depended on who was around , my friends ,my partner. After first few months I couldn’t tolerate the situation I was going through.
I couldn't bear it anymore so I decided to find my own happiness. Why can’t I be alone ? Why couldn't I find happiness in myself ? These thoughts helped me to be a cheerful person and to be happy all by myself .Many would have gone through the exact same situation that I have endured .So these are some ways I practiced to own my happiness.
