“Solitude and Serenity: Rebuilding from Within“

As I continued my healing journey, my little brother and little sister’s family stood beside me. They were my grounding force—accompanying me to hospital visits, encouraging me to stay consistent with my medications, and reminding me that I was never alone. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Their loyalty and love became my anchor when everything else felt adrift. I realize now how blessed I am to have siblings who have stood by me, not just in celebration, but in my most broken moments.

Despite all that I’ve lost, I choose to focus on what remains—and that is love, genuine support, and family. That shift in perspective helped carry me toward a chapter in my life I now call: Solitude.

I used to fear it. I thought solitude meant loneliness. I assumed it would echo with emptiness. But what I’ve found instead is peace, clarity, and truth.

Solitude is not about the absence of people—it is about the presence of self. It is the sacred space where I learned to breathe again without noise, without comparison, without needing to explain myself to anyone. In solitude, I stopped running. I stopped performing. I simply was—and in that stillness, I finally met myself.

And I did not find a broken woman.
I found a resilient soul, wiser, softer, and finally listening.

Solitude has been my sanctuary, not my punishment. It became a place where I could talk to God freely, like an old friend. I tell Him my thoughts, my day, my pain. And somehow, I always feel like He responds—not through loud miracles, but through a deep knowing, a quiet comfort, an unseen embrace that fills the room when no one else is there.

In solitude, I began to understand that healing isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it’s the quiet decision to stay with yourself when you feel like running away. It’s learning how to hold your own hand. How to forgive yourself again and again. How to stop asking others to fill the gaps that only your own love and God’s grace can mend.

And the most unexpected part?

In solitude, I was never actually alone. I was held. Watched over. Whispered to.
Maybe by God, maybe by angels, maybe just by the version of me I had long forgotten.

I’m not sure if solitude is meant for everyone, but I know it was meant for me.
It’s where I reclaimed my story.
