There’s Only ONE YOU!
I have this irrational fear of being alone. Not alone with myself as I know I do better that way but I mean throughout my life. Never finding a life partner, never having children. I am 31 now and it hits me harder than ever. Especially now that I just moved out and into my own place after living with my significant other for the last 3 years.
Maybe it’s my past trauma that allows me to stay in relationships way longer than I should, but as I shared this irrational fear w/ someone close to me they reminded me, “There is only one you. Yes, the person you’re leaving may find someone new tomorrow or next week but, there is only one you and that they will never find again.” After hearing that it sent shockwaves through my system and a burst of confidence grew over me. FUCK YEAH, THERE IS ONLY ONE ME! I am the only ME. I have gone through this life and learned the lessons I have which has made me who I am and NOBODY could possibly be me. They may be similar in some ways, but they will never be me. We are all so unique in our own ways which is what makes us as special as we are.
I wanted to share this as it is getting me through a hard time and I think we all forget just how absolutely amazing and perfect in our ways we are. DO NOT forget that we are so much more than we give ourselves credit for. DO NOT settle for anything less than you deserve, and love, you deserve it all.
