Some thoughts on being alone

My uncle said a great point this weekend over lunch he explained "the loneliest I've ever been is in a relationship that wasn't working". that really made me think because so many people are afraid to be alone so they settle for partners that may not be fulfilling just to make them feel connected.

I was laying in the park today in the sun on this summer day and contemplated some thoughts.

I am disappointed that the words alone and lonely are so similar. if they didn't overlap in the "Lone" part, I think people wouldn't associate the two together as much. Also I think the expression "by myself" should be "with myself" because you are not without anyone because You are a person. Example- who are you going with? I'm going with myself" this has a very different connotation because it implies that yourself is actual company. 

Do not think that being in a relationship makes you not lonely and do not think that being alone means you are lonely. Love yourself, enjoy spending time with yourself, key first step towards fulfillment/success/happiness whichever term you prefer.
