You might be one who is crowded by friends at all times, or one who has multiple groups and is busy. You could even be holding the top position or be married to the love of your life. You could also be busy enough not to think much on what I write now... but mark my words friends, we, at some point feel alone or lonely. Most big shots hate to admit it, but at some point you just feel... alone. Can we rely on the ones who love us dearly to give us company at all times? I am not sure you would do that. But even if you do, you cannot expect to get all that you do for others to get back in return. You cannot expect them to be you. The feeling of being lonely can eat at you. It can bother you and pester you so much that, you tend not to be yourself. You might even break down in tears.😥😩😖

To all the above, I urge you to delve into more productive ways of channelling that energy. This isn’t a yogi or a guru or a ‘speaking tree’ talking. This is one who has realised after 6 years outside home and has been in the presence of friends who acknowledged feeling the same way in all these years. When you realise that you are beginning to feel alone, try to divert your mind into something you like to do. This isn't some new advice, but a gentle reminder isn't harmful either..(😉winking!).This could be watching a movie, baking (I’ve realised that, this is one task that is just so comforting..... high five to all the bakers out there), reading a book, playing music, painting, anything. It could be countless number of things that come to your mind.

Why text up or call a friend? Take charge of yourself! Take charge of your life. Grab this as a chance to know yourself and improve yourself a step more. Most of these things you would realise later usually take a back seat in your busy life. Take an opportunity to dig them out in times like this. You feel accomplished, fulfilling and much better.

At the end of this, are you the same person who had their faces drooping? Or instead, are you one who was exploring yourself in the name of loneliness? I’d rather go with the second. You should choose to better utilise your time for yourself instead of tagging it loneliness, because you aren't lonely, you are simply exploring your potential and working out the creative side inside of you.

Say that to yourself next time, "(screaming)..I am not lonely, I know how to be by myself!!!!! (😆😆😆haha...)".
