Being alone Quote by Cassidy Correa
“I don't understand what all the commotion is about being alone. Yeah, I admit it get old, but discovering things about myself that were unknown... I could never get sick of. I've had difficult times on top of difficult times with difficult people. The beauty of being alone is the relief I feel when I'm the only one I have to hold. I have a tough time understanding myself, let alone other people. So why worry about others when I'm not even through worrying about myself. I have a lot to learn about myself still and I don't need to deal with the feelings other people feel. I don't understand what's so bad about being alone. The greatest thing I have ever done was worry about me, which means the greatest decision I have ever made was choosing to be alone. It isn't all that bad and it certainly isn't all it's cracked up to be.”
