Although what others do to us can make us lonely at times, loneliness is something really inside us. We can be alone but not lonely, instead, we can enjoy our solo moments – listening to our favourite music, drifting to our favourite beaches, reading our favourite author’s current bestseller or simply watching an exciting TV show. I always have my Sudoku handy. It helps when my music is no respite or my Muse isn't inspired to write.
Loneliness is when we feel as if nobody cares or wants to be with us. When we feel lonely, we often ignore what others say or do if it disagrees with what we think is true.
When loneliness creeps in, as occasionally it will, we should try to turn inwards and be a healthy company to ourselves. It's a big challenge to pep ourselves up when we are alone all the time, bereft with any communication from people who profess to be friends or our emails unresponded to by almost everyone all at the same time and for a lengthy period of time. There are always moments when loneliness will creep in again.
The process starts all over... to do something we love to do and simply try to enjoy our solo moment. Before we know it, our loneliness is dispelled. We might even forget why we feel lonely in the first place.
