I Like Being Alone

There Is Me... My life has been a lonely one. Thrown into chaos from the very start, with no-one but myself to pull myself through. I came to the conclusion that we are born alone and we die alone; therefore we must ultimately be alone. Everybody needs somebody... But who can be my somebody when there is nobody? Nobody but me.

So I decided to be my own somebody. I would carry myself when I no longer had strength, I would comfort myself when I feel sad, I would dry my own tears. The way I saw it; if everybody else in the world disappears and I am completely alone, who do I have but myself? Well, there is me. So I might as well work on having a better relationship with myself. Liking myself. I'm going to be stuck in my own company for the rest of my life after all.

It worked. I like being alone now. I enjoy my own company. I enjoy my thoughts and my humor, even if no one else enjoys it. I do it for myself. I am my own best friend, and I must admit, it makes loneliness much easier to take.

Personally I believe that you can never be alone.
I state 2 reasons for this:
1. I believe there are 2 of you. Before I explain this please note that this is my opinion and isn't necessarily true at all. But this is how I have seen and felt my life, and this has helped me to be connected to the people around me. No matter if they felt the same way or not. The first you is you. The person you truly are and have always been. This is the true being. Untainted by fear or expectation. The person who doesn't care whether they get accepted or not. For they are connected to the other people around them. Whether those people choose to accept this or not.
The second person is the dummy you have created to live your life with. It has been programmed with your experiences, and the opinions and mindsets you have chosen for it to see life with. The tools your dummy uses to experience the happening of life.Because of these two connected but ultimately different people, you can never be alone. For this person is not only your vessel that sees the world through the vision you painted for them, but the person who understands the true you better than anyone.
And whether it seems so to you or not. This dummy is your creation. Sooner or later we forget that we have this power to control and paint the vision of this dummy, and we forget that there is a controlling person behind the dummy. We become the dummy. We believe that is is us due to consequence not choice. And that it is difficult if not impossible to change.
2. The second reason I believe we can never truly be alone is because I believe we are all one. Connected by the strands of the energy that makes up the sub-matter of the universe. That no matter how different, separate, or alien we feel, the truth remains that we are the same being....Living on the same organism, in the same universe. All connected... and relevant. All one.

How can I help you to overcome your fear of being alone? I cannot. But I can promise you one thing. And even though you might never believe me. And that you might never even realize it. If you look real hard at the people around you. At what you've got going for yourself and what has been given to you purely out of love...You will realize that you are not alone at all. And never have been.

I hope one day you see the connection you have to the people who are inspired by you. To the people who love you.... Out of choice... For if you do choose to see it this way. Whether it is correct or not. You can at least say in the end. That even if it doesn't work. You still tried. And that's just as good. Regardless of the outcome.

I am good at being alone too. While I am disgusted with myself, I hate having to deal with other people more.
