Christmas Alone...

It's the holiday season. Another year is passing by and little moments in our life flash before our eyes. The business has shaped the Holidays Season into the commercial stunt and make people believe and think that we need to spend it with family and loved ones. The purpose of it is to sell the concept of spending time with loved ones and to spend money on them. Actually, it is definitely okay if you are spending it alone and spending money on yourself. It is true, that every year I had spent it with loved ones, but this year is different. I decided to spend it alone. '' Decided ...'' Maybe it was not, but this year I ended up spending it with my own self.

There's no reason behind it, except for the fact that my family and friends were just busy.  I feel like seeing everyone on Instagram spending it with their friends and family had affected me in away. It is in human nature to doubt who you truly are, and how come you are spending it alone. Why do they have the right to spend it with their loved ones and not you... How come they look so happy and you are spending it alone. One thing, we as women need to remind ourselves is that spending the holidays alone does not mean you are not worth it. It does not mean you have nothing going on with your life. It does not mean you are not valued and you don't mean anything to people around. It only means you decided to spend it with yourself. I could have called a few friends and spend it in a bar, but I chose not to. Why? You don't need a reason and an explanation. It was just meant to be this way and for the better.

For the past few months, I had difficulties living with my own self, constantly trying to discover and soul-searching what truly makes me happy. We as people are constantly driving to make other people satisfied and to please others, but when do we have time to please ourselves. We always try to find time to spend with people that we treasured and make time and efforts to do activities that we might not even enjoy but we tell ourselves that it is perfectly fine because we do it with people we love.  But when do we have the time to think about ourselves. When do we get the chance to really enjoy the time alone without people judging you?  

For instance, I decided to spend these holidays seasons to rediscover myself. We often forget how important it is and how much it can mean when we are truly aligned with ourselves. Understanding your own values and worth is sometimes difficult because we as humans are always driving to feel less than what we actually are.  So, please take a moment of your day, to tell yourself that you are WORTH IT and it is okay to be alone. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, because if you don't love yourselves as much you love others, who would, right? You don't need the feeling of appurtenance to feel important. You have the right to spend any time of the year by yourself because we are as important as everyone else.

So love and enjoy the time being with yourself cause it is a rare occasion.

Merry Christmas Everyone.  

Love yourself like nobody does,

 Cheers.
