A few weeks ago I wrote a blogpost about being almost "obsessed" with someone and how it changes your whole behaviour etc. Well I've learned something in those couple of weeks.
We're all scared of ending up alone. That is why we cling to someone and never let them go. The thought of ending up alone, where you have absolutely no one and die alone in your flat is terrifying. So we take the first person and, whether you fully love them or not, never let them go. It's our fear that limits our greatest potentials. It's our fear that makes life a little bit harder. Fear is created by the media, people surrounding us and that alone creates a barrier between freedom and us.
We won't end up alone. We always have ourselves and even though that sounds like a "nightmare" to some of us, it is one of the greatest opportunities given to us. Finding yourself, your passion and belonging, fulfills you so much more than a romantic relationship. We fear being alone because it's always portraied as something terrible and not desirable but it's not. It's the opposite. It gives you a chance to discover yourself and to love you. I still have a lot to learn but I feel like this realization brings me a step closer to who I really want to be. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing to find a person that loves you and supports you but it's equally nice to follow a path that you'll go all by yourself.
Love can make you blind, obsessed and lightheaded. It's nice if it's balanced out but can often end up in something that'll make you lose yourself. So instead of focusing on romantic relationships, we should spend more time with ourselves, finding out what makes us unique and seperates us from the mass. It's an adventurous journey, that I still need to attend, but I'm sure it's worth more than all romantic relationships together.
