ENTER A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP...

Enter a committed relationship when you're ready, not when you're lonely. How do you know if you're ready? Well, part of it is knowing the difference between alone and lonely.

If you can't be alone and not feel lonely, the only relationships you'd attract are codependent ones, where you're relying on the other people to do your work for you (putting them in charge of making you feel happy, beautiful, worthy, etc.), putting them in power to give you those gifts, but also take them away (when you have them in you all along). 

So.. back to where we started: Enter a committed relationship when you're ready, not when you're lonely.
