The Reality of Loneliness

Loneliness is a horrible heart wrenching feeling. But when you start to feel lonely in a crowd  of people, something's wrong.

This one specifically goes to my friend in Seattle so many miles away. Remember that if you ever feel lonely, you're not alone because someone somewhere is feeling what you are feeling too. Loneliness is an epidemic that's caused by society's views. It is also caused by bonds we've had breaking or being postponed. Here I'll say it again. In a world full of people, it has never been easier to be alone. And yet, because there are so many people, there is no such thing as being alone, alone. Get me? Across the oceans someone's feeling lonely right now. Through the center of the Earth on the other side in a country we've never been to; in a culture we don't live in, someone's feeling alone. You're never alone in your loneliness. And that by itself is almost as powerful as being alone.




When we're lonely, We think about friends and what they mean. Some people feel alone in their crowd, while others feel lonely in their isolation. Whatever it is, know that the easiest way to be un-lonely is to look for that one person who makes you feel like everything. Whether a lover or a best friend, that person exists and believe it or not they are findable. It might take a while to accomplish it, but don't just think about being un-lonely and who amazing great friends would be; go out and achieve them. Believe in yourself because you're still their underneath that reality. The reality of loneliness .




Loneliness is not always an effect  of people leaving. It can also be brought upon ourselves by ourselves. Everyone craves a moment of silence where they can only hear their thoughts and their heart beating. Everyone wants to be alone from time to time. And that's so normal it hurts. What I'm trying to say is that just because someone is alone they don't always feel lonely, just as how even though someone might not be alone, they might still be lonely. Alone ≠ loneliness: loneliness ≠  alone.
