"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" - Anonymous
One of the greatest things I have ever done for myself is to do things by myself. There has always been so many things I have wanted to do, but I always found that I was waiting around for other people to do it with to avoid doing it alone. Then it came to me ..... I could be waiting around forever. So I decided to start taking control of my life and do the things that made me happy for a change.
For the most part ... it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. I know so many of you have heard that all before, but it's true. Taking the giant leap of being an independent person and going to some far off place alone is a huge part of the journey. Last year I took a big leap and went camping for the first time ...ALONE. It was fantastic. Not only did I have the time and peace and quite to hear my inner self ..but I was also able to overcome some fears I had.
#1 Fear of being alone
#2 Fear of being alone in the deep dark woods
#3 Fear of being alone in the deep dark woods during a thunder storm (basically all the elements of a horror flick )
I found this excursion to be both profound and liberating. I basically came home feeling like there was nothing I couldn't do. I was ready for my next adventure ..... I was ready to take on the world !!
So to the world ...I may be one person and maybe I haven't found that one person I mean the world to, but that's OK because for now it's all about the journey .... the journey that is telling me there is no strength in numbers ...the power is in one !!

I am glad you are feeling that way, we all go through slumps, and it is good when we can become inspired and move out of them.
I think you are in a very good space in your life.
