It probably has something to do with being comfortable with and by yourself. It’s not just your average stay-within-my-comfort-zone kind of thing. It’s about being able to battle your own troubled inward thoughts and that of the rest of the world —-and then you come out victorious. Like a glorious free woman should be.

When you realize that everyone else has left you and no one’s there to have your back, you have got to learn to strive for yourself and take care of what else is reduced of you. When somebody gives up on you, you have got to know how to rely on yourself. You cannot and must not always think that someone is out there to save you; this isn’t some religious story or some romanticized narration. You have to save yourself. Be your own hero so to speak.

In time, you will learn how it is not only to love yourself but how to show it. It is not selfishness. It is about self-worth and self-respect. So when the moment comes that someone will present himself before you, you need not expect much from him for you yourself already have what you need. There will be no disappointments should he fail to carry out what he promised. And should he have something more to offer, you will be able to gracefully accept it. You will feel Like a full cup, teeming beyond the brim.
