I Am Learning to Feel Safe in My Own Company

Self‑Mothering Playlist →

There was a time I filled every silence.

Music. Messages. Movement.
Anything to avoid sitting alone with myself.

Not because I didn’t like being alone —
But because I didn’t yet feel safe there.

Now, that’s changing.

I’m learning to feel safe in my own company.

To sit on the sofa with a cup of tea and just… be.
To walk slowly, without headphones, and listen to my thoughts.
To enjoy my own presence without needing an audience, a distraction, or a plan.

It doesn’t mean I don’t want connection.
It just means I don’t need it to feel okay.

Because I’m building a relationship with the one person I’ll spend every moment of my life with — myself.

And the more I listen, the more I like who I’m becoming.

Alone doesn’t feel empty anymore.

It feels like home.
