I have learned the difference between being lonely and being alone. The difference is vast, and for me a rich space. Yet so many people would rather live unfulfilling lives rather than experience the pleasure of being your own resource. Relationships are an interlocutor of giving and receiving, when those are out of balance, your own company is best
Thanks Adrian. “the pleasure of being your own resource”- I love that. And I used to feel guilty like wondering if I was being too cold/ isolated(?) but really I am just not self betraying anymore and giving that time to build its own frequency and attract authentic connections- people who love the real me not the validation seeking performative me.
"Dating the Divine" is a beautiful way to put it.
