That is how life works for each of us.
We intensely desire connection, of course. And, we find it, through love. But, this is also why self love ends up being so crucial.
Because, ultimately, we ARE alone - the only ones having our unique experience. The only ones feeling the things coursing through our bodies. The only ones seeing the image-thoughts in our heads. The only ones hearing our internal voices.

We need connection. We need others. But, we also need ourselves and connection with and love for ourselves. Else, we're destined to feel truly, wholly alone - without ourselves by our own sides.
