Just, thinking ALOUD here…
So, let’s begin, shall we???
Things you need to know about lonely, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, let me see…(thinking…)…(still, thinking)………STOP hurrying me already!!!!
Things you need to know about lonely, is that it’s a STATE of mind, NOT a state of being, meaning, that you can surround yourselves, with a WHOLE lot of raucous, like be in the middle of a LOUD concert, or in the midst of a huge party, and you’d still feel that loneliness, creeping up on you…
That loneliness is nothing you can EVER escape from, just like how your own shadows will, always, AND forever BE by your sides, you can’t get rid of it, it’s just, NOT humanly P-L-A-U-S-I-B-L-E. You feel lonely, perhaps, because you felt, that nobody ELSE in the world will EVER understand what you’d gone through in life but hey, did you actually, let people into your lives, did you allow them, to get close enough to you? Or, did you just, keep them ALL away because that, is how you’d learned to keep yourselves, wrapped up, protected, as that, was how you’d learned to keep yourselves safe and sound as a child?
And, breaking THAT barrier of Y-O-U, is the HARDEST process of reaching out for help too! Things you need to know about lonely, it’ll be right there, accompanying you, through thick AND thin, for better OR for worse, ‘til DEATH (kinda like that life-sentence of your marriages??? NO offense to anybody who’s married out there!).
And that, WAS, the D-O-W-N-S-I-D-E of loneliness, here comes the UP side: another word for loneliness IS solitude, and, solitude signifies that peace and quiet, that calm and collected, sense of mind, so, why don’t you just LEARN, to view your loneliness AS that hard-to-come-by solitude, and feel blessed by ITS presence instead? It’ll make your loneliness, a HELL of a LOT easier to B-E-A-R, and, who knows, maybe, at the end of this whole “process” you may, gained, a brand new BEST friend!
