Isolation is a form of punishment. Yet many of us do that to ourselves because of past experience, all in the name of finding peace.
Humans weren't created to be a "one man mopol" that's what's we are social beings. We need one another to thrive and function properly. Just like plants need water and sunlight to thrive.
Ever wondered why prisoners are isolated and their freedom to move around is taken away from them? That's because loneliness is torture.
Isn't it sad how some people deprive themselves of the gift of loving and experiencing love because they've been hurt in the past.
If we shut the door to our hearts because we are too afraid to let the wrong person come in. How would we know when the right person comes knocking?
There's nothing wrong in loving yourself and having some me-time, but look here..let somebody else love you too. That's how we have been wired.
When we refuse to let other people love us, we are in essence punishing ourselves and missing out on the beautiful gift of connection and finding our own person.
The truth is, no matter how much we lie to ourselves, we just can't do life alone. We need at least one genuine person to thrive.
How do you handle a bad day? When you're sick? When you're confused? You see why you need someone in your life?
The gift of people are a simple life hack of coping mechanism. It works like magic hearing someone encouraging you when you are in the verge of giving up.
It heals you to know, you have your own person who would listen to your rants and look for a way to make you smile. A shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold.
Depriving ourselves from experiencing something beautiful because of past experience is you being so hard on yourself and giving the one who hurt you so much power over you to control your feelings.
Whatever hurt you might have hit you deep, but it's time to let it go and take a new leap of faith. Loving and hurting are almost inevitable. You can't love completely appreciate genuine love if you haven't experienced what it feels like to be broken. The healing power lies in your mindset and you staying open-minded to find the kind of love you deserve.
Don't give up on this search..it may take long to find, but trust me it is worth it when you find the one person who knows your love language and knows what it means to truly love you.
