No compromises. No alterations of plans. You can sit alone and enjoy a coffee in a street cafe or watch a film alone. You can choose to not drink. Basically, you can do everything according to your free will.
8. You befriend silence.
Silence improves you as a person. You learn how to ignore certain things. You speak less and listen more. This is followed by patience. Silence heals.
9. You learn to pick yourself.
Why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
When you have no one in your life, is when you learn how to fight your battles alone.
