But I just can't understand why. It seems to me that this is such a beautiful fairy tale that is told so as not to feel alone. But the truth is that I'm already whole. And these are not empty words.

Being whole means not feeling that something is missing inside. Not waiting for someone to come and make me better, happier, more interesting. Not waiting for someone to add colors to my life. Because these colors - they are already there, they are mine, and I can enjoy them myself 🎨

This does not mean that I do not want a relationship. I'm just not going to fill the void. There is simply no void. There is enough light, warmth and emotion inside me to last for myself and even for someone else, if that happens.

Sometimes it seems like being alone is scary. What does “alone” mean? Alone means lonely? No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Being alone means being with yourself. Being alone with your thoughts, fears and dreams. Being at peace with your desires and with your true self. And that’s awesome, believe me.

I know that many people think that a “soulmate” is the answer to everything. But we are all different, and there are no perfect matches. Honestly, sometimes it seems like people confuse love with addiction. They are looking for someone to feel needed, important, needed. But is that love?

I love myself the way I am. With my quirks, my weaknesses, my funny habits and even those moments when I just want to lie down and do nothing. And you know, when I love myself, I don't expect someone else to do it for me 💕

I think being whole is very powerful. It's when you are a reliable person for yourself, when you can rely on yourself and know that you can cope with any difficulties. And then relationships become not a salvation, but a pleasant addition.

What do you think? Do you think that you can be happy and whole alone? Or is this very "other half" needed for everything to work out? Write, I'm really interested.

For me, these are not just words, this is the state in which I live. And in this state, I feel free, light and real. And if someone comes into my life, they are not a part of me, but an additional source of joy.

That's how it is, just sharing. Without filters and without unnecessary fuss. Just me. What do you think?
