Standing Alone

Are YOU the bird who sits with the crowd? or are YOU the bird who sits alone?

Due to my upbringing, I've always been the bird who sits alone. I've never been afraid to walk my own path or sit by myself. I've never been afraid to stand alone. 

However, standing alone isn't so easy for some people. Especially if you weren't brought up that way. It takes a lot of courage for anyone to stand alone but it is possible to do so. 

Standing alone doesn't make you a 'loner' or 'anti-social' (as some may say) It means that you're strong enough to handle things on your own with or without help. It means that no matter what happens around you or in your life, it doesn't affect you whether your friendships or relationships fall apart, you're still capable of supporting yourself because YOU'RE ALL YOU NEED. It's having a strong mentality to reassure yourself that you are complete on your own & don't need anyone else to validate your existence. 

If you are in a relationship and it's harmful & toxic, this is a perfect example of where it's necessary to "STAND ALONE" 

If your friendship is more about gossip & less about ambitions & dreams, another example of where it's necessary to "STAND ALONE" 

Don't be afraid to walk away. Know your worth. Know your circle. Love your choice. You're strong enough to do anything.

LEARN TO BE THAT BIRD THAT SITS ALONE.
