 People are unable to be independent for a variety of reason, with fear at the forefront: the fear of 
being alone, the fear of rejection and the fear of the future. As we get older, we need to learn how to make 
the best decisions that allow us to live our lives the way we want to. Developing into an autonomous 
person can be one of the most worthwhile outcomes we can strive for ourselves. 
 Having the ability to be happy regardless of being in a relationship is an amazing attribute. People 
continue to wallow in detrimental relationships because they are scared of being on their own. Instead, 
they should relish in it and spend this time focusing on making themselves better people.
 There is no reason to base your life decisions on relationships with people. All relationships end at 
some point or another, it’s reality. There is nothing you can do to change or affect that. The only thing 
you can do is change your perception of relationships. Instead of expecting them to make you happy by 
being in your life and providing enjoyment, appreciate the time spent and enjoyment since you know it 
will be gone.
 Make decisions by and for yourself, and do what you want and learn from your own mistakes.
