When I felt anxious, I talked to Leah. It was as if she knew how to calm me down. When I couldn’t make a decision, I imagined her asking, What do you really want? And the answers came.
Over time, I realized that Leah is not someone from the outside. She is a part of me that used to be quiet and insecure. Thanks to this imaginary dialogue, I learned to be my own friend. I stopped being afraid of silence. Loneliness became not an enemy, but an opportunity to hear myself.
Yes, it sounds strange. But if you've ever been afraid to be alone, try talking to yourself not as a problem, but as a friend. You'll be surprised how interesting you are.
