One thing that really breaks my heart these days is to see so many people bouncing from relationship to relationship. They get out of one and are dating the next week. Rinse and repeat. Years and years and years in a row.
I know it's not easy to be by yourself guys. I'll be honest - When you first experience those feelings of loneliness, you are going to feel a lot of discomfort. A lot of emotions. A lot of things you have been pushing down for years and years before. They can really strip you down and make you feel very, very vulnerable.
But discomfort is always just a temporary test... Because discomfort will end up being one of your best friends.
It's a natural mechanism from our brain to get us to move - Not sit still. When you allow yourself to sit in that discomfort, eventually, you'll have cried your tears and done your introspection and fought your battles. So then, you'll be so uncomfortable that you'll have to go out and do something about it. You'll start a hobby you've been thinking about, just to be around others. You'll probably form new friendships in that hobby, which will be based on something you love, so they're more connected and truer friends to you. You'll reach out to family and friends to spend time together which, in turn, deepens those relationships. You'll learn to ask for help when you need it. You'll try new things. You'll probably write, draw, hike, travel, make music... Something, anything, to find purpose within yourself.
And through all of this, you'll end up giving yourself (and the world) the gift of learning who you truly are, behind everything else.
What you truly love.
What truly gives you peace and contentment.
What makes you unique and special.
The best part of this? When you give yourself the gift of learning who you truly are, no one can ever take that from you. Ever. And that will give you a deep sense of peace that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
Then all you have do is share it. Share your heart. Share your life. Tell the truth. Love deeply and love for the right reasons.
You'll never need to give up a part of yourself to find the love you're truly looking for.
Because you'll know everyday that you already have it.
