If you don’t have anything to say, don’t say anything. Silence is more important than talking. It is the best thing you can do for yourself. Don’t talk because you just want to talk. Talk when you have something important to say. If not, listen.

You can be lonely when you are with your best friend.

It is better to be alone than to be lonely when you are with your best friend.

You can be alone, but you are not lonely.

Alone time is the best way to heal yourself.

You have better be alone than to be with someone who is always disrespecting you.

It is better to be alone than to be with someone who does not know you.

It is better to be alone than to be with someone who is always treating you badly.

Even though you need other people to succeed in your life, you don’t need to be around toxic people.

Even though your life is not about you, you don’t need to be around someone who is always abusing you.

If you do, the person will never stop abusing you.

You have got to leave that person.

You need to do it for your life.

You need to do it for yourself.

You need to do it for others.

Because if you can’t stand up for yourself, you won’t be able to stand up for others.

If you can’t defend yourself, you won’t be able to defend other people.

Remember, your life is not about you, but about others.

Take care of yourself to take care of others.
