I Wonder Why Solitude Is Not Appreciated More

"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other" ~ Osho

@GypsyMiss I always thought my alone time was refreshing. Time to pause and ponder life and the world around me. My partner is away for two weeks I miss her, but I'm chatching up with my self and things I can do alone. Without the need to worry am I getting her where she needs to be today.

Not relying on someone else for your happiness is so important. It means you can truly love them for who they are, not what they give you or how they make you feel.

@GypsyMiss so true! I love not needing. It means I'm free to make my choices and one of them is Dee with all herself stuff

It sounds as though you have a very healthy relationship 🙂

Like any relationship it has it's ups and downs 🌸 We are older and have experiences and have made choices. Complaints that I don't ____ or you don't ____ only cause more complaints. I think being greatful helps each other see each other and the world in a more peaceful and confident state. @GypsyMiss
