Whenever my life is in transition, I manage to find resources that give me answers.
Sometimes it's friends, sometimes it's wisdom in unexpected places. Most of all, I grow and find my own answers.
Having read extensively on happiness, I am aware that empirically, the only trait that can bring happiness is gratitude. So it's okay to not have a partner because being single will not hurt my chances of finding happniess.
Recently, I delved into spirituality and started to read more about how I can let go of the confusions of an ordinary life and be enlightened. It's simple, but it does require a certain peace with oneself.
So this is what's next, finding inner peace. I am looking forward to withdrawing more. By just spending more time by myself this week, I am already back to my usual happy self. Who knew, stillness = peace?

all alone but never lonely
Now that I am once again single, I am spending more time on my own again.
It's nice to get back into the routine. Reading, exercise, checking in with friends, and exploring the city.
I continue to meet new friends, many of them independent women. It's nice to have that support.
As for love, I have long accepted the possibility of ending up alone. After all, I have had fun times and loved enough to last me a lifetime.
Perhaps I am meant to be alone because I am never lonely.
