Being alone is not that bad. Giving yourself a break is a must. We must know how to survive in this world without depending on others. You can ask for some help if needed but if you can, just do it alone. Be independent, because no one will stay on your side forever. Even your parents will leave someday.
What does it mean to be independent?
I know it's hard to be alone but sometimes we need to learn to exclude ourselves from the crowd.
Being independent means standing alone. Providing your daily needs and paying your bills. Living in your strategy. Making decisions for yourself and taking pleasure in time alone. Loving, caring, and enjoying yourself at the same time. It is not about being selfish but it will help an individual to be prepared in the future.
Independent men and women
Men and women have no fear of expressing their emotions, opinions, and beliefs. They don't need anyone to attain their satisfaction in life. Maybe he/she wants you but doesn't need you. Independent men and women are not relying on their parents or family properties. They are making their own to live.
Independent wife
A wife without fear of losing her husband because she knows how to handle herself. A wife that makes her way of living and not relying on her husband's salary and allowance. You can't overpower her with your superiority.
Independent student
Maybe you are living in your apartment or with your parents but you are supporting your needs. Providing your finances and school materials. You are doing part-time or sideline jobs to get a diploma. You are not asking for your parents or family for your allowance but provide it with your hands.
How to be independent?
Be yourself. Accept and embrace all about you. You can't live alone if you don't know yourself. There were possibly negative outcomes when you decide to be independent without knowing yourself and without getting ready.
Stand your opinions and decisions in life. Don't follow anyone's orders or directions. You can't drive properly and go to your destination safely using one steering wheel with two drivers.
Learn how to calm yourself and control your temper. Don't ask for someone or another company to ease your pain.
Stay focus. Don't get intimidated by anyone mumbling about how hard it could be. Don't get committed to someone.
Be unique. Stop asking how to overcome failures in life. Manage it with own way. You can ask for some advice but after all, your own decision must be prior.
Be fearless. How can you be independent if you are scared? This is basic when you decide to move out and live alone. Be strong to fight struggles and risks in your life.
Benefits of being independent
Begin to teach your kids to be independent when they already understand things in your surroundings. Teach them to fix their toys after playtime and let them choose what they want to wear. They need to learn not to rely too much on you and other people on their side to help them to be more resourceful and tough when they grow. It will benefit them in the long run.
Being independent will help an individual to increase their self-esteem and self-confidence. It will help anyone to motivate them to reach their goals in life. The power to decide for own sake will give lessons to an individual whether it failed or succeed. You will be tough when facing problems and difficulties in life. It will lessen the pressure between you and your family because you're the one to blame for your actions. You will have all the freedom in life. You will learn to save and able to deal with finances. You'll learn to discipline yourself in many aspects.
Moving out can help you have peace of mind if you are financially ready. It is hard living alone without savings or financial assets and properties. But if you insist to become independent without anything I bet you will find it very hard. At first, it would be challenging but if you get used to it, it would be satisfying in the end. Just believe in yourself and fight for your way to succeed.
I'd love to be independent and until now I'm still learning and practicing how
