These past few years have taught me so much.
I have learned about myself, about life, and about love.
Something about not having romantic love in your life really puts it all in perspective. I spent so much time chasing myself in circles that this celibate time has allowed me to really develop my self-awareness and self-knowledge skills. To focus on other forms of love - my family, my dog.
The lack of friends, of a lover, of anyone to talk to, has made me more self-reliant and given me a very large awareness of exactly how little I really need to get by.
It is so freeing, it is a revelation.
Being self-taught is a gift, and while I am sad that I had to learn this lesson in such an ugly way, I am glad I know it now.
