I didn't have to go far to learn probably the most valuable lesson this journey will give me. A few posts back I mentioned how I didn't love myself. I retract that statement. I need work, but honestly who doesn't? Isn't that what life's really about? Learning new things about yourself and growing as a person.
I think I always have loved myself, I just never realized it. An old friend would constantly ask if I was going on a date anytime I didn't have plans with them. I always found this odd but never could place my finger on why until now. I don't need to be with anyone other than myself to be happy. I truly am 100% comfortable being in my own company. Of course I get lonely once in a while, that's natural. But I don't need to search for someone else to be happy. I think that's a lesson many people need to learn for themselves.
So as I sit wrapped in a blanket, feet in the sand, salt water in the air, listening to waves crash on the beach, looking up at the stars I feel completely at peace.... All by myself.
