Relationships and Heartbreak: What it is Really Like to be Alone

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Georgia Southern chapter.

I know they say breakups are a time to recover, find yourself, and love yourself more than ever. Some may say “I am alone but I am not lonely” or “Being alone is great for self-reflection.” Truth is being alone gets boring, tiring, and most of all lonely as hell. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I am sure there are some of us feeling lonelier than ever. 

Being alone sucks… at times. Sometimes we feel like we aren’t loved. Well, at least not loved the way we desire to be loved. We suspire the love and attention of another person. The touch, the strength, the presence of another person is something we crave, want, shit we may even need this in our lives. Every woman needs someone to else to care for her, love her, and adore her beside herself. No girl wants to get in bed every night to be greeted by a cold mattress with even colder pillows and nobody to share it with. 

We all want the love some people never get the chance to experience. We want someone to call our own. Someone who knows how we feel without having to tell them, someone who knows when we need to just be held, or just need a massage, or just need as little space as possible. Why is this so hard to find? 

Positive Note: One Thing To Never Forget About Heartbreak

Love yourself. I know it may seem hard right now to be alone but, this is the time to love yourself more than ever. Hang out with your friends, have fun with other single people, travel, take a road trip, go to the beach, plan your next holiday trip. Enjoy life to the fullest. I know it is east to mope around and it is okay to do just that for a little while but, sooner or later you must pick yourself up rememberer who you are, remember your self-worth, and love yourself more than any man has tried to. If you haven’t heard it all day or in a while remember you are loved!

I am an Atlanta native and I am very social once you get to know me. I am an Early-Childhood Education major at Georgia Southern University with a concentration in teaching grades 3-5 with intent of impacting their lives in the most positive way possible. I am often referred to as "not your average girl", I love to shop, hang out with my friends, and get my nails done, however I can play NBA2k on PlayStation all day as well. I thoroughly enjoy weekends at home watching Netflix and relaxing. I am a formal personal blogger with hopes of sharing my personal thoughts with the entire HerCampus community. "A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it." - Nikki Giovanni
