AXTAXIA KARA

Let’s get curious about being alone!

I believe that we can learn a lot about ourselves when we are alone. Although being alone is not the same as feeling lonely. I also believe that the feeling of loneliness can bring about many lessons about ourselves. We often shy away from being alone, or feeling loneliness; but I believe that we can learn a lot about ourselves through these quiet periods in our lives.
