Loneliness

Stegbeetle at solid gone blogspot put a beautiful lovely song, which invoked so many feelings in me that I thought I would look at loneliness at a closer viewpoint.

I myself have over the years suffered from loneliness, well for a long as I can remember always felt outside the crowd looking in, never quite belonging. When I was younger I alleviated the feeling and got more confidence by using alcohol. As I grew older still a fair amount of alcohol, but then I met my husband, at first things were good. Unforunately he got very ill, as a result of this, communucation broke down. I felt estranged from him and last year after several years of trying I left him. Now I have met a lovely man, who has taken away my loneliness. I do fear it is only a temporary state, as all my bouts are, it eventually nearly always creeps in somewhere, though this time I will fight it with full force.

I was reading a book recently which described loneliness and its common causes though I think these links explain it fairly well. I have come to a conclusion everyone in the world must at sometime or another suffer or feel loneliness, though I admit this will affect some more than most.
Next time you feel lonely just remember, so does everyone else, therefore, you are not truly alone. Big hugs to you all.
