I think looking for external anything leaves you feeling empty because all the external things eventually fade and also no longer feels the same.
I remember my father was so strict that when I started college and was out on my own,
I remember thinking, I can't wait to stay out all night long.
I'm going to party and I'm going to stay out all night long.
And I remember being in a party and it was like looking at the clock and it's like now 3.30.
Okay, I'm going to try to make it to dawn.
And realizing it wasn't what I thought it was.
It didn't fill me the way I thought it would.
But also it's important to know how to be alone.
I was talking to a friend who was saying, well, of course you've been lonely.
