I turn 65 next week and understand that every phase needs alone time. The best advice you give is to be authentic & maintain relationships, first with yourself and then with others. Thanks 🙏🏼🥰💯
'The Good Place' is a reallly good show - its about a bad person who ends up in "heaven" by mistake and figures out how to become a good person!! its a really good show to watch and have conversations with your friends about. Its so deep and funny at the same time. Definately binge-worthy!
I feel like I was telling ALL my friends this for so long. I am, and have always been, comfortable with my own company. I always have things to do. I think my relationship with my own mind is why I was able to be a good partner to my husband and a good friend to others. I think that’s tough to learn for kids in their teens and twenties figuring out their own identity and getting comfortable in their own skin. But it’s so healthy to just be by yourself and build a relationship with your own thoughts. I know people now in their 40s and 50s who have never mastered it and keen tell you, it’s unhealthy.
The masking and muting part is so good. It takes so much practice to just be your own self and be “you”. It’s so freeing to be my own weird self. My kids love the weird goofball mom more than the one who used to be serious all the time trying to be perfect. And I’m 49 btw. Took a long time to get here!🙌🏽
I'm almost 50 and I never got to actually live. I've been a mother since I was 17yrs old (8 children total since then). Now I just feel the need to Live a lil. Being and introvert loneliness isn't an issue cause I can be alone is like nothing. But I'm never alone cause I be with my younger kids or grands. Flowers in the Attic is my series to watch
So so loved this! I’ve finally reached a place of confidence and courage to get up and put myself out there. It’s been a rewarding and freeing journey 🤍 starting to feel like myself again but better, due to those lonely & quiet moments.
Loneliness is really for real but by being alone and isolated we also discover the things we want and need to truly be happy. I've become grateful for this lonely season in my life, it has shown me many truths about myself and the influence outside noice can have on ones life. Thanks BestieB for the video.
Bootycheeks out😂...thats the truth man...my wife cheated on me and left December 2022...i was meesed up for a few months...and then i thought about it after talking to friends..i got my house to myself..i can design it in the way i want. I wasnt really happy in my marriage and i tried to hide it.. so now im thankful She took herself out my life. Enjoy your own company and make yourself happy..nobody can do that for you.
Thanks for this video, it came right on time. There is a guy that I like and we used to talk everyday, and lately the conversations have been dying down. Started realizing I was too dependent on our conversations, and not looking at how I was spending my time before he came around. I want to get back to the moments of using my time wisely: I will be getting a workout regimen, and finding time to practice the piano.
I was literally just telling my best friend this last night! I’m “starting over” 24, and I am in a season where I am in a new setting, with new characters and a new storyline! But because I don’t know anybody here, I am alone the majority of the time. Now I love my alone time, I always have! but this is my first time living away from home and it is more lonely than I thought. But then I realize something important, this is the time where I solidify my routines, and what I want my life to look like so that when I finally do find friends that I want to see on a consistent basis, I fit them into my life in my schedule, not jeopardize my schedule for friendships. Like if I had made friends as soon as I got here, I probably wouldn’t go to sleep at a decent time or have time to do my homework or do anything productive besides, just hang out! It’s so funny because I pray to God for this last year and I forgot about it and so now I’m going to use this time to the best of my ability.
I hit up one of my best friends from my old high school and now we're gonna go to Top Golf instead of just scrolling thru social media... live in REAL LIFE !!
I just moved in late October and i dont have out of work friends yet. Hopeful that some of them will become out of work friends too but i dont mind the solitary aspect of this time of my life.
