A partner can be a distraction/ excuse.

Gotta be happy with yourself.

Dont let their chit be your chit

Been through it a couple times, while not perfect I took tje high road and arrived at a spot where I am content

Mentally

Its me time and IDGAF about what others do.

Ive earned it. Fugg em

Get my little yard mowed, trimmed and head to the range.

Ive seen tons of people at work ( worked at two major companies/ factories ) that think they NEED somebody.

They plow through failed relationship after relationship.
Always drama. And by golly, these people are quite sociable, have a bunch of " friends " on social.media.

They are the norm. And they ain't happy.

Dont fall for the chit everybody else is doing or everybody is happy but me. Things likely are not as they appear.

Couples w nice jobs and houses, taking fancy vacations...
The showoffs are almost always miserable.

The average person is stupid and unhappy.

If youre not stupid......you can be happy.
IMHO the cornerstone is just being an honest person.
