Lonely .

Not being alone ....but lonely. Like that lonely you can be in a crowd, or even with people you know.
That isolated-ness of disconnection in which you feel you are the only one of your species .

@OogieBoogie been there. Wrote the book. Now I’m good.

@Madmonk I think I have too. And I'm at peace with it now.

I think it ultimately helped me - to be alone for a while.
It made me come to terms with myself a bit more....face a few things that I never had, because I'd never been alone enough to see they were there .

I think we fear being alone.
I think we keep ourselves stuffed with entertainment, and jump from one relationship to another, so we never face 'alone-ment'.

And I'm not sure that's a good thing.

@OogieBoogie that's my entire existence. I know I'd be better off just accepting it, but there's a small part of me that refuses to give up on something changing.
