Hello, lovely readers! Today, I want to dive into a topic that has been near and dear to my heart lately – embracing the solo season of life. Life, as we all know, is a series of seasons, and right now, I find myself basking in the glorious sunshine of solitude.
Seasons of Life
Just like the changing seasons of the year, our lives have seasons too. We have seasons of growth, seasons of heartache, and seasons of joy. Right now, I'm firmly rooted in my solo season, and it's a chapter that I'm learning to cherish and celebrate.
Prayers for Friends and Love
It's natural to pray for friends who are like family and that perfect romantic relationship that makes your heart sing. I've sent my fair share of these prayers out into the universe, and I believe that God has a plan for those aspects of my life. But what I've come to realize is that this solo season isn't a placeholder for something better; it's a season of self-discovery, self-love, and self-worth.
Falling in Love with Myself
In this solo season, I've fallen head over heels in love with myself. I've learned to appreciate my own company and truly enjoy doing things alone. From savoring a cup of coffee at a cozy cafe to exploring new hobbies, I've found joy in the simplicity of solitude.
Taking a Leap with TikTok
A year ago, let alone five months ago, I would have been terrified to post anything on social media, especially the wildly creative world of TikTok. But this season of self-discovery has pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I've embraced the challenge. It's been exhilarating to share bits of my life and connect with others who share similar interests.
Solo Adventure: Ireland Awaits
One of the most exciting adventures on my horizon is a solo trip to Ireland next year. The idea of exploring a new country all by myself would have once seemed daunting, but now it feels like a thrilling opportunity. I can't wait to immerse myself in the culture, meet new people, and savor every moment of solitude.
A Comfortable Solitude
Through it all, I've discovered that this season of solitude is not about being alone; it's about being comfortable with being alone. It's about finding contentment in your own presence and recognizing that you are enough, just as you are.
Embracing the Season
There's a beautiful Bible verse that resonates with me during this season: Ecclesiastes 3:1 - "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." This verse reminds me that life is a series of beautifully orchestrated seasons, each with its own purpose.
So, to all my fellow solo-season dwellers, embrace this time with open arms. Find joy in the little moments, challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, and let self-love bloom. Remember that God's plan for you is unfolding, and every season has its purpose. You are exactly where you are meant to be.
With love and gratitude,
Payton Duncan
