So I got a comment on one of the Shorts I had posted from a guy in Uganda who's struggling with, I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel alone, I don't feel like there's anybody there to help me. And one of the things that I'm coming to realize in a big way in my own season of being alone is that's okay. It's okay to be alone, and learning to be alone, it's a huge deal. You get comfortable with yourself. You get comfortable with what is it I want? What is it I think? What is it I feel? Those seasons of being alone at first can be very, very scary. They can be very intimidating to be left all by yourself, especially if you haven't been there. You've constantly been with somebody. You've been around somebody else, whether that's a work relationship, a family relationship, a romantic relationship, whatever it may be. But to be alone is okay, and the more that you do it, the more you're going to come to terms with And understand who you are. You're gonna feel a whole lot less lost in doing that. So, I'm sure this guy's not alone, and when I first started down this path of being alone, it was intimidating. It was a big deal. But what I'm finding now is by taking that season and being alone, it allows me to enter into relationships in a much better way. It allows me to engage with people from a place of knowing who I am, what I want, what I feel. And it's just, it changes the entire landscape of everything for you. So if you're out there, you're feeling alone, it's normal, it's okay. Just get used to it. Become comfortable with yourself.
