One "friend" that shows up every now and then in my life is the feeling of loneliness. And I have noticed many here struggle with the same. Sometimes I feel less lonely when I get close to someone. And when that someone leaves, and he normally does, I try to keep my spirits up, and then it hits me. I am lonely. I will remain lonely. Or am I lonely? I have still my friends, my faith, my dog, my mum. Isn't that enough? Today my closest friend had to go to a shelter to get advice concerning an ex that doesn't leave her house. How can I be grumpy about being lonely when she has to escape her own home and stay away as much as possible, because she doesn't want to meet his accusations, his arguments, and his cultivated role as a victim? And I count my blessings. To be safe in my own house. To do what I like. To wear what I like. To whatch the TV when I like and choose what I like. To sleep late or to get up early. To take a nap. To sing along the many weird songs I have on my playlist. To eat a steak on a Monday, just because I can. I could make the list longer. But it already feels better.
I am not wanting this to be a self pity party. But a place to encourage eachother and perhaps connect with others that gets the unwanted visitor once too often. Even though I want this as something positive, I want to share my heart ache song.[video=youtube;0YRjBhZsJts]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YRjBhZsJts[/video]
