Loneliness is…..

Sitting here on this stupid computer reading about other people’s lives and feeling left out.

Having so much to give and no one to give it to.

Being in a crowd of people and feeling uncomfortable about it.

Listening to your favorite song and others think it is crap.

Not being in a majority.

Having five dollars in my billfold until Monday.

Having someone say they love you and you don’t feel the same in return.

Looking up at a dark winter’s sky and realizing how small you really are as an individual.

Cooking a great meal and there is only you to enjoy it.

Lying in a warm bed late at night with only your thoughts to keep you company.

Having a best friend that is a cat whom you do not own and he drives you nuts.

Watching your neighbor’s friends come and go by the number of revolving cars in their driveway.

Looking in the mirror and realizing you have aged.

Getting all dressed up with no where to go. (I do this often.)

Picking up the phone and having second thoughts about calling.

Turning on the TV just for background noise.

Having an illness that few understand.

Being in a family of extremely social ladder climbers and you are afraid of heights.
