You can find happiness on your own if you’re a strong, independent woman. You are confident in yourself since you don’t need approval from others or from society. It entails emotional freedom and the capacity to maintain positive interpersonal interactions free from codependent tendencies. It entails discovering your inner voice, whether it be loud and strong or shy and soft-spoken. It’s not necessary to try to fit a specific mold. Give yourself what you need when you see that you need it—whether it’s attention, connection, or affection. Spend a day treating yourself to something nice if you need attention, or get in touch with someone you care about. Go for a walk in the outdoors or write in a journal if you need intimacy. Consider the things you love about yourself or treat yourself to a movie and dinner if you feel like you need affection. Your relationships will be stronger if you can better meet your own emotional needs since you’ll be able to communicate with your partner and know and understand who you are. Taking care of other people is a beautiful thing. But keep in mind that you still need to take care of yourself. You cannot assist others if you are not attending to your own needs, just as you cannot pour from an empty cup.
