As we grow in serenity and self-love, we learn to take care of ourselves by letting go. But, letting go of old relationships, even if they were destructive, can leave us feeling lost and alone.

Someday we may find a new lover and new friends, but until then, our solitude doesn't have to be unhappy. We can love ourselves regardless of other relationships in our lives.

In solitude, we can get to know ourselves better than ever. We can spend time learning and growing and concentrating on our well-being. We can develop ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We can focus on our relationship with our Higher Power.

Solitude spent in this way will enrich us and every relationship God has in store for our future.

"I will use my time alone fully, instead of worrying and wishing for relationships."
