Solitude
With the space to write our narrative from our own point of view, we gradually overcome the influence of movies, books, our parents' or caregiver's model, or a partners wishes. We clarify our vision of love. Solitude helps you recognize that there is a you before, a you during, and a you after every relationship, forging your own way even when you have company and love
We don’t make choices based on infatuation or follow someone else's vision of love or passively let things play out without knowing what we want Instead we gradually express the standard we’ve developed to check if it matches.
