Simplified Meaning:
Being comfortable by yourself is important if you want to truly love someone else. Think about when you learn to ride a bike. First, you need to get good at balancing on your own two wheels before riding with someone else. In relationships, it’s similar. If you can be happy and secure alone, you bring your best self to another person. This helps you form healthier, stronger relationships because you’re not relying on someone else to make you feel good about yourself. To apply this in your life, spend time doing things you enjoy alone, like reading or walking, to build inner strength and confidence.
