Your Loneliness is a Gift

Possibly one of the best pieces of advice I have ever been given regarding my time of loneliness came from one of my dear friends, a blunt and feisty romanian lady named Silvia. She is someone that has been like an adopted mother to me and she has never once held back when she knew that she needed to tell me something even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Her valuable advice went something like this: “God has given you a gift. A chance to be alone and figure out what YOU want from life, what YOU enjoy doing. Find a hobby. Find 2 or 3 hobbies. Don’t let those moments of silence eat at you. Do something with it.”
