A Day in Winter Wonderland

 

This weather does not only call for hot chocolate and cozy sweaters; it calls for cuddling in front of fireplaces, holding the ones who make you feel warm inside.

However, not all of us have that.

At least I don't.

 

As I lay here snuggled up in a blanket, allowing my body to slowly defrost from the cold, icy snow, I wonder why the winter makes people feel so lonely...

 

Is it because the chill of outside sends a chill in our hearts, wishing there was someone around that could warm it?

Or is it because the thought of being alone in a season of blizzards and storms, makes us afraid? Afraid that without someone beside us to hold our hand, we might freeze.

 

 

But, here's the thing: we won't.

If you think there is no one to lift you up when you're down, you're wrong.

You can.

 

If you think you need someone to make you happy, you're wrong.

No one can make you as happy as you can on your own.

 

And if you think the love you have for yourself is not enough, you're wrong.

It is...

That love alone can be the strongest, and most important love of all. If only you would realize what it can do for you.

Because, once you discover how amazing you are individually, you will lose interest in anyone who doesn't see it.

 

It took awhile.

But I can finally say that I love myself.

And I'm not embarrassed about it.

 

I don't feel cocky, or self-centered, because I know that I'm not.

I'm just finally sane.

 

And when I do find someone that I can cuddle in front of a fireplace with, I know I'll be okay if that person doesn't stay forever.  

 

Because no one can make me as happy, as I can make myself.

 

 

With Love,

Along The Way
