<p class="ql-align-center"><em>"Being alone never felt right. Sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right." </em></p>

"The art of being alone" is the skill of finding peace and fulfillment in solitude. It’s about embracing self-reflection, creativity, and growth, turning isolation into an opportunity to recharge and connect with oneself, rather than fearing loneliness.

Taylor Swift said once, "The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news is, you are on your own now" The fear of loneliness has been injected into our minds since we were kids. We have learned that the kid who eats, & sits alone, and has no friends is pathetic. In every book/movie, the kid with no friends is always featured as a weak character who needs to be saved. No one wants to be seen as a 'weirdo' hence, our dread of being alone. We don't want people to think of us as unwanted or not fitting in with the cool kids. We don't want people to think that no one chose us. So what do we do? We start becoming like an ideal version of whom everyone loves.
