Is Any Attention Better Than No Attention?

Loneliness is a powerful piece of fear that motivates and coerces us into doing things and subjecting ourselves to situations that we wouldn’t consciously accept or repeat.
Relationships are tough. Starting one, maintaining one, or stopping one brings about sets of emotions that can quite literally move mountains. So when loneliness rears its ugly head, we do everything except act like ourselves to avoid being lonely.
We settle for whatever and whomever will pay attention to us, even if it’s costs us our pride.
We succumb to being in the presence of individuals that suck the life out of us.
We rationalize our unhappiness as being better than the alternative (being alone).
Instead of advocating and acting for our own personal happiness we react to an unwanted ‘possibility’ (being alone)
The next time you have a choice between being alone or being unhappy. Take pride in who you are as a person. You are unique and special and you deserve only what is best for you. Don’t settle for a relationship or a situation that doesn’t enhance your life. We only get one chance at this adventure we call life, make it your best.
Carpe Diem
