I walk alone and have done for some years now. I place no expectations on myself. I paint my days away and love my wonderful little dog Finn. I have had a traumatic life, much abuse and difficulty but I am at one with myself now. Wishing all women who live in solitude all of my support and love.
Do you have a job or A car? You still rely on that income? 🤔 I have autism and Have been Severely Abused to the point where I am fearing that I will not be able to financially support myself. How did you get out of it???😢❤ I am so scared...struggling with toxic family who don't really love me, but I like me being a free spirit and creative. I cannot be who they expect me to be. And I don't know how I am going to financially support myself I don't have enough skills.
As a woman, I want to point out to you and others that not a single sentence in this exerpt applies specifically to or only to women. This isn't about women. Nothing in this entire video has anything to do with women, just humans.
This is exactly me. I've developed great mental strength and changed my co-dependence for independence. I've chosen to be alone for the last 8 years now. No boyfriend, no husband, no dating, nothing. I'm truly blessed to have found who I truly am. Love and light my friend's.
Divorced in 2018. Because I know it’s that my husband interfered with my freedom. I wanted to be better, I wasn’t happy but he was “ ok” in a confort zone. That decision was the best that I ever done, since then “ I WALK ALONE every morning, to organizes my ideas, my toughs, and clean and clear my mentality. I’m Editing my day by day. It’s so powerful. The best part I don’t feel lonely, I feel free, and now I can be wherever I want. I’m re educating myself, I wanna be a writer. And He is in his comfort zone again gaining weight. And I’m getting very fit, healthy and happy.
After a lifetime of giving my labour, my money, my energy and my love to others whilst neglecting my own needs, I now realise that all my love was taken for granted and not returned. At 58 I am now safe and have a chance to find solace and nurture my body and spirit. I am alone but I am not lonely.
It was spending more than half my 65 years married to a man who never loved me, who lied and cheated the whole time. Now I have been alone and I'm finding myself and healing. I am a lone shewolf and not afraid any longer.
You're not a she wolf..... You're the beautiful feminine graceful woman that God created you to be, who loves you with an endless everlasting love. And you're never alone, God is and always will be with you. 💋
@debbysmith5346 I'm sorry this happened to you. We really never know anyone until we leave/they leave us. My ex husband of 16 years led a life behind my back. Didn't realize it until after we were split and all the truths starting coming out. Made my head spin. They're not capable of love, the kind of love we come to expect from a spouse, right. Protect, compromise, unconditional love, compatibility, all those types of qualities that attracted us to these men. I was young. Everyone was getting married. I thought he would change. Silly me. Life experience since then has been incredibly insightful. Yet, in just got out of a relationship in June with a textbook narc. They can really manipulate people beyond anyone's comprehension. Unless you've been through it, no one really understands. Today, I walk it out alone. Zero desire to ever change that.
How about when women don’t walk alone, yet still get stalked or approached by men who look like Anglo Saxon waxworks with black eyes? Is this called attracting oneself, with the calibration adjustment from psychospiritual abuse to physical & sexual abuse? If it’s chronological, how does the later follow the former and the reasoning of one wishing to cause harm where the other does not?
I felt the same way, it's sad that women are so rarely addressed this way that it means so much to us. Man seems to be the default in this current reality
This is also Me! Live alone on mt top in Co. I’m 70 and cut wood to burn and shovel feet snow off driveway. Took 3 days but I DID IT! Don’t need any man’s help! I’m stronger than any man at 70! Love being by myself! Eat when and whatever I WANT! Love my life above 9000ft!
You rock! As a 74 year old woman, I hope you find joy in every day. I walked alone across America and learned living alone forced me to use strengths that others wanted hidden. That walkabout created a bond with nature that cannot be put into words, one I could not experience when I was with others. Hope you forge your own bond.
The loneliest times of my life have been surrounded by other people. The liberation has come in the silence, and the solitude that I've been able to experience the last 6 months. I'm more clear on who I am than I've ever been and I'm so grateful to be in this place.
I'd rather be alone then be in the presence of fake deceiving people so until I find someone human or animal that's true to another other than Christ who's the ultimate friend loyal loving honest true never ending and with him within me being alone I no longer fear it Its better than being loved falsely And alone I suppose is me Amen
I am an artist/ painter..walked away from lots of toxic people that were in my life. I enjoy being alone...its a time to heal your heart..makes you truly intuned with who you are. My light bothers some people..
I have been living like this for the last 10 years . I'm absolutely so happy in my body and how I live. I have a beautiful dog that walks with me and he's been the most loyal male i have ever had in my life. I think this is were i will stay till my time to leave this earth. I wake up every day happy and a smile on my face I can sit in my house all day with nothing playing and its perfectly ok with me I welcome the quiet. I talk to GOD alot and that's all I need is could care less what's going on on the outside or what anyone thinks of me. At 54 I'm finly at peace.
Being independent is important but please fill your life with a a loving community even if its small. I think it’s important for our health and well being as humans.. life is difficult as it is… ❤️
I won't fit their dream. They don't see me as I am, they see what they want me to be. I haven't got time for that. It's not love. It's desire. I'd rather walk alone, than bend backwards to others needs.
I’m alone, after divorce in 1982, for 42yrs - single & celibate… learned from mistakes and free myself from all kinds of baggages and toxic relationships, which include loved ones…
wonderful quote I heard the other day went something like this "much worse than ending your days alone is ending your days surrounded by people who leave you feeling alone" soooo true...
Disowned at 19, and I've been alone ever since, but I've never been lonely. It scares me that i don't get bored nor lonely by myself , and it hurt at first until i saw myself . I wept for being so unaware of such a gift i thought was a curse .

Imagine how wonderful the world CAN be if only women could find the courage to "walk alone" and to take that solitude as a gift rather than panic and run away to men to make them whole. I CAN imagine that world and know that it awaits us. The women with the highest morals and values in live are my women friends who "walk alone".
i've lived alone most of my life and i'm 71...yet i have not YET acquired many of the attributes he spoke of....grateful to read comments of those offering love and support...i thank you.
I'm so grateful I walked this journey from a very young age of in my 20's. I'm now 61 and cannot express how valuable walking alone has gifted me along my path ❤
Me too! One of the most difficult but one of the best things I have ever done, it was hard as I new she was quite mad, in the same 6 months I left my husband of 22 years, and had my beautiful mother die, being alone was more than hard, but now looking back it has made me the strong, self aware person that I now am.
My sister is also toxic. A living hell with her, all the time growing up. We tried a relationship as adults, but the old toxic showed up. Don't want her around, and will never talk to her again.
@ After years of guilt b/c we get shamed into believing they’re everything or “should” be. Then, I finally learned “stop shoulding 💩 on me” and, ‘we don’t choose our fams but we can choose our tribe’.
I love being a woman walking alone. I want to be authentically imperfect, and happy in acceptance of an ever changing life. I love being an artist, I love being kind. I am strong. Inner peace will change the world 💚✨
I love how it's emphasized as "The woman who walks alone". In the discussions of the hero's journey in modern tales, women were rarely mentioned. Women definitely go through our own journeys but it's done in solitude and quietly. Attuned to instincts, imagination and can lead to a level of enchantment in our own lives. There's a distancing from performance and pleasing others. It focuses more on genuine self-love and building a powerful energy which in turn is true love for the Earth and is much needed to balance energy on the planet.
I have a partner. One I choose to stay with, love, care for. But he came into my life later, and I came in with an understanding that I am good on my own. Someday, if I outlive him, I will be fine. Just as he will be fine if he outlives me. Or if the relationship fails for any reason. I have children because I wanted them - not because I “should” or wanted to meet expectations. I love them deeply. But if others don’t have that desire, we should celebrate that too. We need to teach our children that they are complete in themselves. Stop asking “have you met someone yet?”, followed by “when are you committing “ followed by when will you have a child, followed by “when will you have more?” Walking alone does not mean not having other people in your life. It means knowing that you are enough as you are. And that choosing different paths is a choice. Walking alone doesn’t mean you don’t like other people - regardless of gender or relationship. It’s the internal journey.
I was broken Like in countless pieces I cried day and night Years after years Not understanding actually what is happening with me And why ??? Keep asking within myself Keep assessing every single thing My school hours ends at 4.30 But I used to come to home near about 8.00 to 8.30 sometimes 9 o clock I used to sit quietly silent Bank of river ganga and keep on thinking Sometimes crying alone What is happening??? I never ever hurt anyone or did any wrong to anyone then why all these things are happening with me, why everything is getting darker and doomed But the day I understood the ultimate truth I accepted my flaws I understood That it's my fault that I ever wanted someone to love me To stand by my side To be there for me This is my fault, this is my sin That day I accepted my guilt And I decided that no matter what "I will never ever allow myself to feel the need of other person 💔❣️" I promise myself that I will never ever let anyone break me again I will never ever authorise someone to have the power on me or on my emotions and determine my value or degrade me , Or degrade my worth I decided to "WALK ALONE"🙏 Walk with Grace and Grit And never ever look back 💔🙏
I live in solitude, but I am not alone. All of my family and friends are opportunities to get to know myself better. They reflect the waves of energies that are latent within me, my consciousness awakens, and I notice the presence of these energies within me. So no one in my life is poisonous, but like a mirror to reflect what I have inside me and become aware of them. So from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate everyone in my life. ❤❤
That is me. Walking life out alone. But not lonely. Failed relationships, I'm an empath. I have no more time for games and deceit. My 2 cats and I live in a drama-free zone. I can easily make a choice to do "peopling" or not. I play my drum to my own beat. Lived a life quite opposite of what it is today. Yes, I had lots of fun, not much I haven't seen or experienced. But I would not change this life today for anything. I value my peace, love my hobbies, being out with nature , and after working all week, I value my downtime and practice self-care. It works for me. ❤
There is no such thing as an empath. Most people who call themselves one are in fact covert narcissists or are very high in trait narcissism. Thinking you feel more than most others is narcissistic and delusional. There are differences among people, but there are no people who feel so much more than others and it is narcissistic and delusional to believe you can read the emotions of others simply by being near them or thinking of them. This is quite literally a delusion of grandeur, and you are entirely wrong in your conclusions most of the time. Every human can intuitively feel and know what other humans are feeling or thinking by looking at their faces and seeing microexpressions. This is what the huge majority of humans can do. Some people are more sensitive than others to the feelings of others. But there is no such thing as an "empath", and often it's the case that the "empath" is just as narcissistic as those they themselves label as "narcissists". They just don't recognize that, and that is a clear sign they aren't half as intuitive as they thought they were.
You are like most others: you enjoy nature and you "reject drama". Depending on the study you look at, somewhere between 65% and 90% of people say nature is their number one hobby and 80%-90% of women claim they "hate/avoid drama".
@SolidSiren I stand to correct you. The misuse of our God-given emotion of empathy may be a ... whatever you call it. However, I am a natural person with natural emotions. And as cold as your response may be, I hope you have yourself a groovy day! I know I am 😊
This is outstanding. I feel the point not to forget here is the WOMAN who walks alone. A woman is (mostly) indoctrinated to feel inadequate being alone. This is one of the most important, beautiful and important videos I've come across so far..... Thank you, and yes you got all the liked, subscribed etc .
Do you/did you have kids? I am 35 and am struggling on deciding whether or not to…may be too late…I think of the love I have to give and also my elder years being surrounded by ones I love.
I am so happy finally someone understand the value of walking alone but not lonelyness .Thank you for this video to let those who mistaken woman happy to be walking alone.❤
Thank you. You have described me. It took me decades to find me, now I am happy walking alone, holidaying alone, writing alone. After all, I will die alone. For now, I completely accept myself as I am.
This in constant rotation of life experiences with and without exterior influence or partnership, we always come back to this gratitude we come back to balance and wholeness.
I lost all my family and walked alone really I never had a friend even when little always walked alone i am not lonely I am independent not dependent free spirt love and light are sent to you all out there. Great video
I walk my life alone for 10 years now and the space of reflection grows.... My dear friend Kasper (dog) walks by my side for 7 years now. We really learn to go with the flow of life and rely on the innner peace that can be found in being ones own best friend. I love the grace of independence and the endless opportunity to be fully präsentiert to each moment. Thank you for the possibility to share this with you all ❤😊😊😊
Especially as we age. Been single since Im 40. I will only open my door again to a real adult man who has done therapy and really loves women (and himself). My time is too precious for anything less.
@@Maliilse75 Yes! I also think patriarchy is involved. Like many (but not all) men who hate being single view relationships traditionally, where women are there to serve them and be owned by men, and these types of men think they are less of a man if they are single because they don't have that so-called commodity (a partner) to own. Then there is the other gendered issue: men are socially conditioned to not be social and have heartfelt closeness with their male counterparts, and so they rely on romantic relationships to also fulfill platonic and otherwise non-romantic social relationships. This is also a disenfranchisement of the patriarchy. Of course, there are other men who are uncomfortable being single/alone because of codependency and abandonment issues, etc. issues unrelated to the above, and I don't want to lump them together.
I often go to my bedroom as a 40 year old woman to be alone. This is often disturbed by family. I also like to go on walks alone, not realy to think, but to help clear my mind. When I want to think, I still prefer to be in quiet but will put my thoughts down on paper either in words or drawings. Peace and quiet is like gold dust.
I write this as an encouragement! I have found in my journey that it is possible! I have a partner who is my ally and my friend and yet I know in my heart I still walk alone. I walk alone because I am an individual and this relationship has taught me that it’s safe to be me apart from somebody else. This relationship has taught me that I can accept someone else’s differences and still love them. That I can stand for myself, but not against others. This relationship was a surprise. It did not come into my life when I was really ready for it or very emotionally healthy. I put my higher power in charge of the journey and it all is continuing to unfold in love and beauty! This too, I wish for you. ❤
True happiness is having a partner to walk beside, together with, who allows you to sometimes walk alone WITH them. Walk silently alone, beside another walking silently alone.
Meditation is the answer, it’s how you will become like this. Not just meditating for a week, but always. I have meditated for about ten years, and now I see his description starting in me. It isn’t complete though.
" self acceptance is not the end of self improvement, rather it is the beginning of a journey where we strive to grow from a place of love and curiosity, instead of fear and inadequacy." This is so profounding! ❤
When I am alone I can hear my inner voice and who I am. I enjoy others but not at the expense of my own rest and respite. When alone we can learn who we truly are. It is then we connect with Divinity. It never was about the external world. Once the veils drop the truth within is revealed.!
I find as a widow of recent, the learning curve is painful. Rural living though quiet, has loud pain that often chokes me and fogs the path. Praying for light on the path.
This video should be taught to all women in all the world 🌎 the fact about the women ability and power as what she really need is here self respect ,understanding,love ,trust then life can begin
It does kinda suck to not have an excuse for procrastinating, tho. When my kids were little, there was always a million and one things that had to be done, so I never even needed to come up with excuses, but now, I really have to take responsibility for how I manage my time. I'm counting on the accuracy of the 80/20 rule, and choosing to believe that 80% of my productivity comes from 20% of my activity.

Thank you Alan Watts ❤ I am an immigrant minority indigenous woman & I walk alone. From where I came from, "alone" sees as anti-social, deviant & shame; people must be engaged with others all seconds. I walked alone since I came to this earth, worked, educated, emigrated & until today after one of my feet had gone bad. I lost half of my family without being able to be with them in their last moment. I must accept I can't meet the rest of others. I lost people & friends who have been closed before because we no longer share the same experiences. Everywhere I go, I walk alone, and NEVER. I feel alone. Some dislike & hate this, some accept & embrace this. We're all coming from all directions into this universe, and what they/we do are not to be judged. All share some meanings into our existences on this planet.
I am on the journey of walking alone right now and you are absolutely right. There is a lot of different emotions you go through during this journey, but very rewarding.
I walk alone, bc I miss myself a lot. Have this deep longing to have myself for myself alone I even get jealous when I have to share my time with others
I am walking alone for 4 years : hardest ones in my life ! BUT I give thanks to God for all lessons. I invite HIM to work w me & walk w me & teach me & change me to the glory of His name !
❤I have been alone for 14th Year i have a little toy poodle she is a joy to have ..I can talk to any one I'm so open it shocks people .😅😅This won't change I like my own company love my own thoughts .Ozzie woman 63.I am an empath too.😢

I agree. So refreshing.
True
How about when women don’t walk alone, yet still get stalked or approached by men who look like Anglo Saxon waxworks with black eyes?
Is this called attracting oneself, with the calibration adjustment from psychospiritual abuse to physical & sexual abuse?
If it’s chronological, how does the later follow the former and the reasoning of one wishing to cause harm where the other does not?
as opposed to what? I'd say "sees" the deeper aspects of being a Woman rather than a human being..

And have you realized yet that you have the freedom to walk alone like that precisely because men have given that freedom to you?

I CAN imagine that world and know that it awaits us. The women with the highest morals and values in live are my women friends who "walk alone".
i've lived alone most of my life and i'm 71...yet i have not YET acquired many of the attributes he spoke of....grateful to read comments of those offering love and support...i thank you.
You’re very honest, that’s becoming rarer these days. Good luck to you. ❤
Sending you a hug ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤ thank you
“Solitude is not the absence of connection but the purest form of it” 🙌
I'm so grateful I walked this journey from a very young age of in my 20's. I'm now 61 and cannot express how valuable walking alone has gifted me along my path ❤
I walk alone❤
Letting go of my toxic sister. Best decision I have ever made!
Me too! One of the most difficult but one of the best things I have ever done, it was hard as I new she was quite mad, in the same 6 months I left my husband of 22 years, and had my beautiful mother die, being alone was more than hard, but now looking back it has made me the strong, self aware person that I now am.
@@leegrow7519I hear you and your knowledge is mine.
Meee tooo ~ 1 1/2 yrs ago, and her machismo husband. I divorced those final vestiges of a toxic family. Sending love and blessings. You take care. ❤😊
My sister is also toxic. A living hell with her, all the time growing up. We tried a relationship as adults, but the old toxic showed up. Don't want her around, and will never talk to her again.
@ After years of guilt b/c we get shamed into believing they’re everything or “should” be. Then, I finally learned “stop shoulding 💩 on me” and, ‘we don’t choose our fams but we can choose our tribe’.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 absolutely true!!!!! I am my best friend and company!!!!!!😀 so enjoyable, the BEST💕💕💕💕💕
There is a vast supply of wisdom discovered in solitude...
I love being a woman walking alone. I want to be authentically imperfect, and happy in acceptance of an ever changing life. I love being an artist, I love being kind. I am strong. Inner peace will change the world 💚✨
I love how it's emphasized as "The woman who walks alone".
In the discussions of the hero's journey in modern tales, women were rarely mentioned. Women definitely go through our own journeys but it's done in solitude and quietly. Attuned to instincts, imagination and can lead to a level of enchantment in our own lives.
There's a distancing from performance and pleasing others. It focuses more on genuine self-love and building a powerful energy which in turn is true love for the Earth and is much needed to balance energy on the planet.
'Atuned to instincts, imagination...' beautiful beautiful and right on! 👏🙏

OMG! This guy found out where paradise is!
I love this video ! Thank you ! I walk alone !
I love my solitude, I walk alone and I love myself and I put no demands on myself.
I have a partner. One I choose to stay with, love, care for. But he came into my life later, and I came in with an understanding that I am good on my own. Someday, if I outlive him, I will be fine. Just as he will be fine if he outlives me. Or if the relationship fails for any reason.
I have children because I wanted them - not because I “should” or wanted to meet expectations. I love them deeply. But if others don’t have that desire, we should celebrate that too.
We need to teach our children that they are complete in themselves. Stop asking “have you met someone yet?”, followed by “when are you committing “ followed by when will you have a child, followed by “when will you have more?”
Walking alone does not mean not having other people in your life. It means knowing that you are enough as you are. And that choosing different paths is a choice.
Walking alone doesn’t mean you don’t like other people - regardless of gender or relationship. It’s the internal journey.
100% true. The beauty of not having to answer to anyone but ourselves. Standing alone with the peace of serenity is definitely a fulfillment 😊❤❤❤
“ I am the cat who walks by herself and all places are alike to me.”
Adapted from Rudyard Kipling
Solitude = authenticity
Man I wish everyone could just find something that brings them in . The world would be so much better ..
I walk alone therefore I am free
I have being through so much from one man I rather walk alone with holy spirit that lives in me and it's feels so good ❤
So resonant! I'm solitary for both peace of mind and to recharge from being of service and social interactions ❤
It's like he is describing my personal Journey ✨✨🙏
I was broken
Like in countless pieces
I cried day and night
Years after years
Not understanding actually what is happening with me
And why ???
Keep asking within myself
Keep assessing every single thing
My school hours ends at 4.30
But I used to come to home near about 8.00 to 8.30 sometimes 9 o clock
I used to sit quietly silent Bank of river ganga and keep on thinking
Sometimes crying alone
What is happening???
I never ever hurt anyone or did any wrong to anyone then why all these things are happening with me, why everything is getting darker and doomed
But the day I understood the ultimate truth
I accepted my flaws
I understood
That it's my fault that I ever wanted someone to love me
To stand by my side
To be there for me
This is my fault, this is my sin
That day I accepted my guilt
And I decided that no matter what
"I will never ever allow myself to feel the need of other person 💔❣️"
I promise myself that I will never ever let anyone break me again
I will never ever authorise someone to have the power on me or on my emotions and determine my value or degrade me ,
Or degrade my worth
I decided to "WALK ALONE"🙏
Walk with Grace and Grit
And never ever look back 💔🙏
We walk with God always.

AMEN 🌼🌺🙏❣️
Yes Queen 👑
Walk with God! Walking with others when you don’t need them is the goal, girl! Bless ya

I live in solitude, but I am not alone.
All of my family and friends are opportunities to get to know myself better.
They reflect the waves of energies that are latent within me, my consciousness awakens, and I notice the presence of these energies within me. So no one in my life is poisonous, but like a mirror to reflect what I have inside me and become aware of them. So from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate everyone in my life. ❤❤
That is me. Walking life out alone. But not lonely. Failed relationships, I'm an empath. I have no more time for games and deceit. My 2 cats and I live in a drama-free zone. I can easily make a choice to do "peopling" or not. I play my drum to my own beat.
Lived a life quite opposite of what it is today. Yes, I had lots of fun, not much I haven't seen or experienced. But I would not change this life today for anything. I value my peace, love my hobbies, being out with nature , and after working all week, I value my downtime and practice self-care. It works for me. ❤
❤
There is no such thing as an empath. Most people who call themselves one are in fact covert narcissists or are very high in trait narcissism. Thinking you feel more than most others is narcissistic and delusional. There are differences among people, but there are no people who feel so much more than others and it is narcissistic and delusional to believe you can read the emotions of others simply by being near them or thinking of them. This is quite literally a delusion of grandeur, and you are entirely wrong in your conclusions most of the time.
Every human can intuitively feel and know what other humans are feeling or thinking by looking at their faces and seeing microexpressions. This is what the huge majority of humans can do.
Some people are more sensitive than others to the feelings of others. But there is no such thing as an "empath", and often it's the case that the "empath" is just as narcissistic as those they themselves label as "narcissists". They just don't recognize that, and that is a clear sign they aren't half as intuitive as they thought they were.
You are like most others: you enjoy nature and you "reject drama". Depending on the study you look at, somewhere between 65% and 90% of people say nature is their number one hobby and 80%-90% of women claim they "hate/avoid drama".
@SolidSiren I stand to correct you. The misuse of our God-given emotion of empathy may be a ... whatever you call it. However, I am a natural person with natural emotions.
And as cold as your response may be, I hope you have yourself a groovy day! I know I am 😊
I agree, and i am never alone always with Christ through which I am allowed to make peace with God.
Amén ❤
I've done it all my life.
THE WOMAN WHO ALKS ALONE AND LEARNS AND IS FULFILLED WALKD WITH GOD, 72 YEARS OF FAITH, LEARNING AND WISDOM
This is outstanding.
I feel the point not to forget here is the WOMAN who walks alone.
A woman is (mostly) indoctrinated to feel inadequate being alone.
This is one of the most important, beautiful and important videos I've come across so far.....
Thank you, and yes you got all the liked, subscribed etc .
I enjoyed it too, then realized it's AI generated after seeing a similar one narrated by Denzel Washington!
@@aarya_ai thank you.
As long as they are Watts words.... in any case really, they make too much sense to me 🙂
Solitary life since 2017. Childhood and life after 50 are the BEST times of my life. Being alone is ultimate and absolute FREEDOM.
Do you/did you have kids? I am 35 and am struggling on deciding whether or not to…may be too late…I think of the love I have to give and also my elder years being surrounded by ones I love.
@
Yes, I have 3 kids. Now they are adults - have their life.
I truly enjoy being alone with my thoughts.
I am so happy finally someone understand the value of walking alone but not lonelyness .Thank you for this video to let those who mistaken woman happy to be walking alone.❤
Thank you. You have described me. It took me decades to find me, now I am happy walking alone, holidaying alone, writing alone. After all, I will die alone. For now, I completely accept myself as I am.
Amen to that!
This in constant rotation of life experiences with and without exterior influence or partnership, we always come back to this gratitude we come back to balance and wholeness.
I lost all my family and walked alone really I never had a friend even when little always walked alone i am not lonely I am independent not dependent free spirt love and light are sent to you all out there. Great video
We are never alone. We have ourself.
Probably THE BEST TH-cam video I have ever encountered! BEYOND outstanding!
I walk my life alone for 10 years now and the space of reflection grows....
My dear friend Kasper (dog) walks by my side for 7 years now.
We really learn to go with the flow of life and rely on the innner peace that can be found in being ones own best friend. I love the grace of independence and the endless opportunity to be fully präsentiert to each moment.
Thank you for the possibility to share this with you all ❤😊😊😊
Honestly I know so many more women who are cool with being alone (and single) than men.
Especially as we age. Been single since Im 40. I will only open my door again to a real adult man who has done therapy and really loves women (and himself). My time is too precious for anything less.
@@Maliilse75 Yes! I also think patriarchy is involved. Like many (but not all) men who hate being single view relationships traditionally, where women are there to serve them and be owned by men, and these types of men think they are less of a man if they are single because they don't have that so-called commodity (a partner) to own.
Then there is the other gendered issue: men are socially conditioned to not be social and have heartfelt closeness with their male counterparts, and so they rely on romantic relationships to also fulfill platonic and otherwise non-romantic social relationships. This is also a disenfranchisement of the patriarchy.
Of course, there are other men who are uncomfortable being single/alone because of codependency and abandonment issues, etc. issues unrelated to the above, and I don't want to lump them together.
I walk alone for 18 years. I just met someone special. What he is saying is so true. I have so much peace inside and i can be myself. Brilliant.
Single blessedness
I often go to my bedroom as a 40 year old woman to be alone. This is often disturbed by family. I also like to go on walks alone, not realy to think, but to help clear my mind. When I want to think, I still prefer to be in quiet but will put my thoughts down on paper either in words or drawings. Peace and quiet is like gold dust.
How nice for a man to explain this to everyone on our behalf.
I think it was an AI voice in the manner of Alan Watts. I may be wrong, of course.
@@consideredwhisperit's fake
Right?😅
@@Maliilse75 lol😅
Alone is good but I am tired of it. There must be someone who I can walk together and I am respected with my freedom at the same time.
I write this as an encouragement! I have found in my journey that it is possible! I have a partner who is my ally and my friend and yet I know in my heart I still walk alone. I walk alone because I am an individual and this relationship has taught me that it’s safe to be me apart from somebody else. This relationship has taught me that I can accept someone else’s differences and still love them. That I can stand for myself, but not against others. This relationship was a surprise. It did not come into my life when I was really ready for it or very emotionally healthy. I put my higher power in charge of the journey and it all is continuing to unfold in love and beauty! This too, I wish for you. ❤
@ thank you for sharing this encouraging experience. I hope I meet my great love asap (at the perfect time:), too. May your love be forever🪷🪷😇😇
True happiness is having a partner to walk beside, together with, who allows you to sometimes walk alone WITH them. Walk silently alone, beside another walking silently alone.
I just realised after listening to this beautiful talk from Alan - I am enough....
❤❤🎉 respect to women who walk alone like myself 🙏🏼
Meditation is the answer, it’s how you will become like this. Not just meditating for a week, but always. I have meditated for about ten years, and now I see his description starting in me. It isn’t complete though.
This is timely. Thank you. Now I understand the value of solitude in nature and with animals.
I love being alone at times 🧡🍁🍂
This talks about me... And I stumbled in it at the right moment.
" self acceptance is not the end of self improvement, rather it is the beginning of a journey where we strive to grow from a place of love and curiosity, instead of fear and inadequacy." This is so profounding! ❤
Beautiful. I have walked alone for over 20 years.
YES. Just me a the whole Big Life every day to LIVE. That‘s it. I am that solituded Woman
Liberating ❤ My relationship to others is a Bonus not to complete me.🙏💞
I walk with my Saviour. 🙏
When I am alone I can hear my inner voice and who I am. I enjoy others but not at the expense of my own rest and respite. When alone we can learn who we truly are. It is then we connect with Divinity. It never was about the external world. Once the veils drop the truth within is revealed.!
This is all very true….
Beautifully said! Agreed ❤
I find as a widow of recent, the learning curve is painful. Rural living though quiet, has loud pain that often chokes me and fogs the path. Praying for light on the path.
This video should be taught to all women in all the world 🌎 the fact about the women ability and power as what she really need is here self respect ,understanding,love ,trust then life can begin
As hard as it can be for us, this is the most invigorating journey we can take.
The most beautiful ❤
It does kinda suck to not have an excuse for procrastinating, tho. When my kids were little, there was always a million and one things that had to be done, so I never even needed to come up with excuses, but now, I really have to take responsibility for how I manage my time.
I'm counting on the accuracy of the 80/20 rule, and choosing to believe that 80% of my productivity comes from 20% of my activity.

To every women who thinks she made alot of dumb mistakes in her life, treat yourself to this video...and heal.
Thank you Alan Watts ❤
I am an immigrant minority indigenous woman & I walk alone. From where I came from, "alone" sees as anti-social, deviant & shame; people must be engaged with others all seconds. I walked alone since I came to this earth, worked, educated, emigrated & until today after one of my feet had gone bad. I lost half of my family without being able to be with them in their last moment. I must accept I can't meet the rest of others. I lost people & friends who have been closed before because we no longer share the same experiences. Everywhere I go, I walk alone, and NEVER. I feel alone. Some dislike & hate this, some accept & embrace this. We're all coming from all directions into this universe, and what they/we do are not to be judged. All share some meanings into our existences on this planet.
These are not Alan watts words. It’s A1 generated
I am on the journey of walking alone right now and you are absolutely right. There is a lot of different emotions you go through during this journey, but very rewarding.
I walk alone, bc I miss myself a lot. Have this deep longing to have myself for myself alone I even get jealous when I have to share my time with others
I love not having to "present" myself.
I am walking alone for 4 years : hardest ones in my life ! BUT I give thanks to God for all lessons. I invite HIM to work w me & walk w me & teach me & change me to the glory of His name !
❤I have been alone for 14th Year i have a little toy poodle she is a joy to have ..I can talk to any one I'm so open it shocks people .😅😅This won't change I like my own company love my own thoughts .Ozzie woman 63.I am an empath too.😢
Excellent. I have walked alone for the last 25 years. As I heard this I felt you have said my story.
