I’m a strong believer in alone time. It gives you time to understand yourself as a person – your thoughts, your dreams, your fears. The more you do it, the more comfortable you will become with yourself. I took myself out for lunch on Saturday and it was glorious. I travelled alone for five months and it was the best experience I could have had, as I realised I could cope alone and was capable of taking care of myself.

Don’t be dependent on others for your happiness, depend on yourself.
