Independence.

Are you okay with being on your own? Are you worried that you don't have someone to share your time with? Are you feeling insecure because everyone else is with someone and you're not?

Hello all, the Earthian here.

Dependency is always a debatable topic. Sure, not having a ruler for you to command you and tell you what to do, is a sign of being independent but are we truly, completely independent?
This can only be answered by you to yourself. Because only you know how and who you truly are.
You see, being alone is a very tough feeling. The thought that we have to undergo and endure all the pain in life alone and that there is no one to share it with can and will be overwhelming sometimes. If it is overwhelming, it's time to ask yourself the exact question "Am I truly independent? Or have I just been kidding myself by believing that I truly am?".

First of all, I have to clarify that there is nothing wrong in being dependent on someone. It is the natural human tendency. From the day we are born, till we become young adults, we depend on our parents. Afterwards, we start looking for other people to depend on. Then we go after relationships, trying to find the "perfect one". When we find one, and it almost works out, we get to know that it's all broken. Now we're shattered. Shattered, for two reasons. Our "love" is lost, which is the only reason we think we're shattered. But secretly, we realise we've spent most of our lives being dependent and now we don't have a shoulder to cry on.
Well guess what. We do have a shoulder to cry on. It's right with us. It is us. We are too busy, going after what we think we want and ignoring what we need. What we need, is ourselves. That's all we truly need and that is all we truly will ever need. Everything and everyone else is someone we want in our lives. The fine line between want and need is what that is going to lead us to independence.

Most think it's tough being alone in life because they've never experienced being alone. But when you do get alone, you will realise how fun and enjoyable​ it can be. Try it, if you haven't​.

Lots of love, peace.
