The year is 2025. I've graduated and have a well paying position at a successful company. It's my off day. Me and my elite girlfriends are going out for brunch. I have a diamond ring on my finger and carrying a birkin. We're discussing my wedding plans and catching up over coffee. I get a text from my wealthy fiancé to pick something up for him and stop by at his work after i'm done.

what she says: I'm busy. what she means: I'm busy choosing my happiness, my health, my peace of mind. I'm busy creating healthy routines that sustain my wellbeing and mental health. I'm busy falling in love with myself after a lifetime of society telling me everything that's wrong with it. I'm busy going to the gym and ignoring what other people have to say about how my body should look. I'm busy reviewing my therapy notes to process and release the past. I'm busy envisioning ambitious goals and tackling them one by one because mediocrity and settling is not for me and I know I can do and be and have so much more. In short, I'm busy focusing on me.

Not having friends for periods of my life really molded me into the person I am today lol. It helped with me getting used to my solitude and being self sufficient. Because I’m used to being alone I would never accept anyone to treat me with anything less than because I’m cool with being my own best friend. A lot of people are out here are allowing others to treat them like dirt for sake of having friends, I honestly wish people would look at not having a fulfilling social life as a good thing. Yeah, it sucks but take this time to build a relationship with yourself. When you ARE in a space to cultivate relationships, your standards are so high that if that friendship/relationship were to end, you would be good because you’re used to being to yourself! This is so important to understand.
