The yearning for partnership but with the solace of solitude - you captured this concept perfectly.

I'd rather be alone than deal with people with fickle emotions.

This is so beautiful - and heart wrenching - and raw - and honest. Heart wrenching because I too feel the same in so many ways. I am still learning to be ok being alone ... I often think it only feels hard because of 'societies expectations' - should I want to be alone ? Should I crave that aloneness like an ache in my soul ? - but equally I ache for the 'not alone' life too, just every once in a while - to feel loved, to feel I belong, to - as you so eloquently put it 'not have to carry my own weight' ! God yes, that weight can feel such a heavy load - but it is oh so beautiful too. Thank you for your words, honesty and wisdom - I am profoundly moved and feel seen šŸ™šŸ»
