When loneliness is the better option for idealists


Listen Later

Dear soul, this journal entry offers you the permission to break up with toxic relationships and incompatible family members who diminish your sensitive soul's light. I ask us to look at the uncomfortable truth that sometimes choosing loneliness is the better option.

For the idealist, it is painful when you show up with your whole heart and unique gifts, only to have them rejected or minimized. This video explores the journey of realizing that sometimes, people are just incompatible—and that’s okay.

I talk about:

  • The crucial difference between setting boundaries within healthy relationships and choosing to emotionally and physically disconnect from unhealthy relationships.
  • Using MBTI personality typology as a tool for understanding relational incompatibility.
  • Why trying to fill a hole of loneliness with mismatched people only leads to more heartache.
  • The final, liberating step of freeing yourself from the relationships that weigh you down so you can focus on sharing your gifts with the world.

This journal entry will help you to reflect on your relationships and encourage you to choose self-worth and self-reliance over endless heartache.

Now that you have given yourself permission to choose quiet healing over constant hurt, learn how to embrace and constructively use that solitary time with this gentle suggestion: Lonely? Read a book like this... (video/oN4pqCbRadQ).

XOXO,

🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿

My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.

Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.

I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I warmly welcome you into the Lightbearer's Library. Stay for a while, and please remember to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2wps4NID9rrO08OuwZ5Lg?sub_confirmation=1
