I am strong and independent

and I will be happy with who I am for me along with out relying on anyone else. I guess that's my main goal to be comfortable in my own skin, to be happy with the person I am. But sometimes/ somedays its hard and I'm lonely and sad and want someone to fuss over me or I want comfort and affection from another person, I guess that must never go away, no mater how long you're alone? I miss having someone call to make sure I'm OK. being strong and independent is much harder than being doted on.
