It is better to be alone. Alone, in it’s figurative and literal sense. You think you have finally realized how lucky you are once you fall in love because finally, you don’t feel that pang of loneliness anymore. You begin to wonder how you have been all those times that he or she wasn’t there. So you grasp on that thing tightly for fear of losing it, for you never want to be left with no one but yourself. Sure, there are good times. A lot of very good, very happy times where you seem to breathe in valentine’s day air and you exhale all the worries and fears away. But sometimes, the same thing leaves you hanging. Stagnant. There would be boring days. A few times when you have to set aside your own feelings just to save this one thing that makes you feel less alone. There would be times when you’d fight. And times when your expectations are not met. You won’t always understand each other’s glances and subliminal messages. You realize that it’s twice as frustrating to be misunderstood by another. You won’t know everything, and you can’t get back whatever it is you’ve given away. There would be a lot of waiting and moments alone. A lot of worrying and shallow issues that don’t get answered no matter how many means of communication you both use. At one point, one of you will pretend, lie, make a mess, break the other’s trust, fuck up, and get hurt. These things happen, and it feels worse. Was this all you really wanted? Weren’t you perfectly fine before all this, building a relationship with yourself?

Everyone’s been hurt. It’s a beautiful and tragic fact. Pretending you’re alone in a world of pain is so completely unnecessary. People can relate to you. People understand you, despite your cries of isolation. 
We were created for fellowship. We. are. never. alone. 
How wonderful is that?

A guest speaker from Atlanta, Georgia came to my church last Sunday. He said (not exact quote), “Sometimes God will allow things to happen to us to make us better people. All things, ALL THINGS, will work together for My glory, and for the good of man. They may not be good things, but they WILL end in His glorification. Do you not realize He can bring good out of ANY situation? But you gotta let Him.”

No one wants to hear that when they’re going through something that wrenches their heart in two, something that causes them so much emotional pain that it translates to literal, physical chest pains, like your heart is getting smaller. Sometimes repeating the truth, no matter how empty it sounds, will save your life.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
