In one of Tyler Perry's Play's. Tyler who play's Madina talks about how it is better to be alone, then to be with someone that is not right for you, and for instance having them live in your house, and you don't even know why they are there. What they are their for. Then you still feel a void, and you are miserable. So I take it like this it is truly better to love your self, respect your self, and know it is better to be alone, and happy then to just be with someone just so you are not alone. You have to stand on your own to feet everyday. I suggest if you have not seen that play that was made into a movie. You Should.
