The Art of Being Alone

Donovan Vogel
Aug 31, 2024

The most valuable lesson you can learn in life is to be able to enjoy your own company.

A lot of times we fall dependent on others without realizing whether that be a friend, a partner, a family member.

You have to be able to sit by yourself and feel comfortable while doing it.

You have to be able to sit down comfortably with yourself and your thoughts.

Your own company is the best company.

As you continue to go through life as an adult, you will lose and gain people but you have to always maintain a sense of self.

Trust me, you can lose yourself in this big crazy world.

Nobody knows you as well as you do.

Don’t let the temporary comfort other people provide you outweigh the permanent comfort you bring to yourself.
