I used to be afraid of being alone. For me, being alone is sad. That’s because you don’t have your friends or people around you to accompany you and have conversations with.

However, now.. As I’m growing up, I’m slowly to adapt to loneliness. As a matter of fact, I kinda like it. Being lonely teaches you to be independent and do whatever you want to do. Especially when I’m alone going out for grocery or just to wander around. but that doesn’t mean I don’t love the idea of hanging out with my friends. I love doing both. There’ll be a time when I need ‘me time’ and time when I love to be with my lovelies.

Being alone for me is a good practice for the soul. It teaches me that I don’t need to surround myself with people just to make me feel happy. Cause back then, I used to surround myself with people just to avoid that lonely feeling. Because when it comes, I will think of how sad and unhappy I was with my life. Or how empty my soul was. But alhamdulillah.. since I’ve changed my lifestyle and trying to make a stronger bond with Allah swt, I realized that I don’t need to be afraid of being lonely cause I’m never alone. Allah swt is always right beside me. Whenever I feel like I need to talk to someone, I know I can take ablution and pray. After that, I will make a doa and talk to Him. Talk to Him for as long as I want. There’ll be no interruptions. It’ll be a secret conversation between me and Him. =]

So as for now, I’m not afraid of being alone. However, I embraced the situation I’m in and make full use of it.
