"Live alone if staying together is lifeless."
Munia Khan
It took years to learn to identify my patterns. Then even more time passed before I could recognize them mid-stream. More unbelievable opportunities went by before I could correct my weaknesses in this pattern called life.
I offer layers of giving to others, making them feel secure, and appreciated. I continue to add elevation of undeserved attention, not realizing I am not receiving anything in return. In my efforts to rise to my self-appointed role, I unexpectedly discover that I have given too much, and now I am dry ... falling back into a shallow reality of no longer being me.
Hindsight tells me I have more depth and enhancement when I am alone, not distracted. I have more courage to move forward and broader options for creative expression. I don't have to hide who I am or turn my back to what I hold dear. It is perhaps better to be fully me, even if it means being alone.
