Loneliness is such an odd thing. It can sneak up on you... because you don't have to be alone to feel it. You can be right next to another human being and suddenly feel so lonely.
I am not one who minds being alone. I'm an introvert. On that personality test they gave us in college I was pretty much off the chart in the introvert scoring. And introverts require time alone to gain their energy. If I am around too many people for too long I need to step away to recharge. So the occasional night or weekend alone is quite lovely. But that is far different from loneliness.
We each have our own battles to fight in this life. And many battles we must fight on our own. Even if we have external help the internal emotional fight is always a solitary one.
I am happy and grateful for a great many things... things now and things to come. But there are moments when it is hard to keep the chin up. But I remember my Mom... she would have found something to laugh about, and then she would get on with the business of living. :) And so shall I. :)
