Loneliness is... Lonely!

Loneliness is... Lonely.

It is Isolating.

Loneliness is saddening.

It is depressing.

Loneliness is everywhere.

It is unfair.

Loneliness affects men.

It affects women.

Loneliness is in marriages.

It is in singles.

Loneliness is in families.

It is in all people.

Loneliness is many things to many people. To me it is the feeling of not having anyone to be around, or talk to. It is being stuck at home without a car with only two children to talk to day in and day out. It's having the love of your life traveling for work all the time and not getting to be hugged, or kissed, or that other thing lovers do.
It is a constant that people refuse to acknowledge. It is everywhere, but people won't make an effort to reach out to those who are lonely. I don't know why. Maybe they are afraid or don't know what to say. I don't know.

If that is you, feeling lonely, please know that you are not alone in how you are feeling!

If you are in a marriage and you feel alone, it happens. You have to bring it to light with your spouse and actively, together, find a way to make it better. It will still happen, that's normal, but it can be better!

If you are that child that feels alone because your parents don't pay attention to you. YOU ARE IMPORTANT! YOU MATTER! Don't give up on your dreams. Keep going! You are SO Worth it!

If you are that older person, feeling alone because your children don't come see you or call you... You ARE loved! Find a group of people to talk to, to occupy your time. Reach out to your kids. All you can do is try.

For any other reasons... You're not alone. Yes this feeling sucks horribly. But it will get better.

And remember: You are not the only one feeling lonely. Be strong. Keep going!
