Could you tell me a time you felt alone?

It’s so strange how you can always be around people, have amazing friends and family yet still have moments where you feel completely alone.
We forget it’s okay to have this feeling sometimes and need to remind ourselves of this. We aren’t going to feel 100% complete and comfortable all of the time and this is okay. For me living in London, which is one of the largest and busiest cities to be in, I still have waves of feeling like I only have myself. However, without a doubt, most of the people you walk past on your daily commute will be feeling the exact same. The journey through life is never going to be a straight line. You’re going to have set backs and moments where you feel like you’re never going to be able to push through but these moments are only what makes us stronger at the other side.

If someone had told me 5 years ago I had accomplished everything i have by the time I was 21 I wouldn’t have believed you. I’ve moved across the world and pushed myself way out of my comfort zone which has now led me to go to university in the biggest city in the country. In high school I was never one of the smart kids and was always made to think I wouldn’t be able to go to university with my grades. But one of the biggest lessons I learnt from school is no teacher can tell you which way your life is suppose to go. The only person that can decide that is you and so in this context maybe all we need to get through life is ourself. If you believe in yourself enough and want it enough you will achieve amazing things. Obviously having the support of friends and family is a bonus but they aren’t going to reach you’re dreams for you.

So many young people today get worried if everyone around them is settled down with boyfriends/ girlfriends and think they’re doing something wrong. No two people have the same life. It’s okay to be alone especially when you’re still young and figuring out what you want to do with your life. The best way to do this is by only having yourself to worry about and not revolving it around a significant other.

Everything will work out the way it’s suppose to we just need to learn to love ourself and our own company for everything else to fall into place.
