Loneliness is the lump in your throat and the darkest place in the soul A situation, a civil status ... no social contacts You've heard it before, but it's still taboo behind the sparkling facade ... the painful loneliness in every breath Uphill puts things in perspective Nothing in life comes with guarantees My physical presence is here ... without attending and you don't see me Let the past die ... what happens if I kill it ? I need to develop myself, give me strength and energy The fear of being rejected ... heartbeat that threatens to set a new record An eagle flying alone on drifting clouds Clouds just need air currents to soar That's when I thought of William Wordsworth's words : "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" 29.01.2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Famous poetic lines that inspire “I wandered lonely as a cloud” by William Wordsworth Sponsored by: Silent One 2nd place in the contest

As someone who doesn't interact with many people. I sympathize. I always think people have better things to do, But I have God and the memories of loved ones lost so I do not feel lonely. Have a great day my friend.

- What preaches loneliness is not the number of people you interact with, but whether the social interaction an individual satisfies his or her need for connection, whether they experience the social interaction they have as meaningful - Many thanks for visiting and your comments, David :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
