Short Memo #8. thoughts on loneliness

Loneliness... It’s a powerful tool and a fearful enemy. It can have an overwhelming effect, causing a deep aching feeling inside. But truly it is something that we all feel, something that exists within all of us.
Have you ever felt isolated, been alone? Have you ever wanted to tell a friend but always too afraid and embarrassed to do so? There is no indignity in sharing such feelings and it is never too healthy keeping the feeling locked away. Like a caged lion, it will claw at the bars, eventually breaking through.
When you tell someone that you’re lonely, what is it that you really want? Being comforted and being reminded that you aren’t alone on this planet? Or maybe you want them to pity you. Words only do so much, “Actions speak louder than words”.
There must be hundreds, thousands, millions of songs, articles, movies exploring this notion. I’m no expert but in the end its what we feel that truly matters.
