My Journey to Becoming a Better Woman: How the Moon Changed My Perspective on Being Alone

Hello Dear Readers!!!! In 7 days your girl will be 21🥳I’m super excited yet anxious at the same time😩I’m getting old and I think my back is agreeing with me 😅. I’ve just realised that my posts are very deep, but that’s who I am. I am like an onion, there’s layers to me and my personality. 

There’s something magical about the night sky, especially the moon. For years, I never truly appreciated its quiet presence, hanging above us every night like a silent guardian. But as my personal journey unfolded, I began to realize that the moon was far more than just a celestial body; it became a symbol of transformation, reflection, and empowerment. This is my story of how I became a better woman and how the moon taught me that being alone is not the same as being lonely.

For most of my life, I feared being alone. Solitude was a word that, to me, equated with isolation, sadness, and vulnerability. I avoided it at all costs, constantly seeking companionship and distractions to fill the void. But the truth is, I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin, and I didn’t know how to sit with myself without feeling empty.

It wasn’t until I started embracing moments of solitude that things began to shift. Life has a way of forcing us to face ourselves, and there came a point where I had no choice but to confront my fears head-on. At first, it was daunting, but with time, I found beauty in those quiet moments. I learned to listen to my inner voice, to reflect, and to grow.During those solitary nights, I often found myself looking up at the sky. That’s when the moon began speaking to me in ways I hadn’t noticed before. The moon is ever-present, yet it doesn’t demand attention. It waxes and wanes, moving through its phases, but it never loses its significance or purpose.

The phases of the moon became a metaphor for my own life and personal growth. Just as the moon transitions through different stages, I too was evolving. Some nights, it shines in full glory, illuminating everything in its path. Other times, it’s a sliver of light, barely visible. But whether it’s full or just a crescent, the moon is still there, unwavering.This taught me that it’s okay to go through phases of darkness or feel incomplete. Growth isn’t linear, and neither is the journey to becoming the best version of ourselves. There will be moments where we feel like we’re glowing, and there will be times when we feel dim. The key is to keep moving, keep showing up, even in those moments of perceived weakness.

The moon also helped me redefine what it means to be alone. There’s a certain peace that comes with being by yourself, something I had never fully understood before. The moon is alone in the night sky, yet it is never lonely. It exists in its own space, surrounded by stars, radiating light, influencing the tides, and maintaining its own rhythm.Being alone doesn't have to mean being disconnected. I realised that, like the moon, I too can be strong in my solitude. I began to find joy in my own company. I cultivated self-love, learning to care for myself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I no longer sought external validation as much, because I had found inner peace.

As I continued this journey of self-discovery, I grew into a better woman—one who is more confident, self-assured, and in tune with her own needs. I learned to set boundaries, to nurture my passions, and to live authentically. The moon’s steady presence reminded me that it’s okay to take time for myself, to reflect and recharge, so that I can shine brighter when I’m ready.I also became more empathetic, not just towards others, but towards myself. I stopped being so hard on myself for not having everything figured out. The moon, after all, takes its time to become full again after every new moon, and so too, I learned to be patient with my own process.

The moon’s lessons on solitude, transformation, and inner strength have become a guiding force in my life. I no longer view being alone as something to fear, but as an opportunity to grow, reflect, and connect with myself on a deeper level. The quiet strength of the moon is a reminder that even in the darkest nights, we can find light within ourselves.I hope that my journey inspires others to embrace solitude, to look up at the moon, and realise that we are never truly alone. Just like the moon, we are constantly evolving, and that’s something to celebrate.

In the end, becoming a better woman isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning, growing, and finding peace in the phases of life. And for me, the moon will always be there, reminding me of how far I’ve come and how much further I can go.
