The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. When you are used to be alone, you used to just love and appreciate yourself; where you are not in the urge of looking for someone you can call partner.
Yet, no other people can establish good stand about love when they are used to be alone. But as for me, to be alone is much the capacity to love. It may often look paradoxical to you, but it is not.
It is always an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing their love, of going into the deepest core of the other person—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on them, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other (who knows but you).
This realization of allowing other's absolute freedom is the kind of love which in the beginning you might be deceived of being selfish and childish but it's not. Because you know that if the other person leaves, you will be as happy as you are now. That your happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given anyway as you expected.
It is often, misunderstood but to love freely, is to love genuinely. You owe no one the explanation why you choose to love alone. Alone but not lonely.
