Loneliness

Have you ever been lonely until your heart begins to feel like a vast, empty desert? Until you feel like adding more people in your life, to fill spaces left by others? I have. That's why you see me worshiping solitude so much. If you see me alone, I'm trying to connect with my past selves that I chased away from my life...

Interesting thoughts, Teddy. Do we chase our past lives away? I feel they are always present, frozen in time....

Hi Daniel. Don't worry....such loneliness is a season; a passing cloud. As a teenager, I looked really happy, but really really lonely... Now, I'm not, though sometimes I'm alone, lol.

I think most people suffer a period of loneliness - I know I have in the past so can relate so much to your lines:-( good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx
