Amanda, so glad to see that you are embracing your independence. There's not many women who know the meaning of the word, they need to be with someone and it's sad that they don't know how to enjoy their solitude that they can have without the feeling of being a loner. In reality, we don't need men around unless we think we do, for if we do then it's considered to be co-dependant. I too love my independence which evokes an echo in getting to know myself better and to explore things about my self that I didn't know before I decide to commit myself in a long-term relationship. I love my freedom and also love that I don't have to answer to anyone and come and go as I please.
Happy Independence Day Amanda! I too enjoy my own company and I hope other women will read this article and be inspired to turn off the noise, move away from the crowds, cut all the crap...and get to know themselves.
It feels good to write.
