are you lonely?

well, are you lonely, and wish for a relationship?

Is this some sort of infomercial? Is there a pill to cure this? Will my HMO cover it? :lmao:

 

I'm married with an 8 month old. I could use just a hair more alone time to get some things done.

Why It’s Important To Be Alone

Why It?s Important To Be Alone | Thought Catalog

 

Alone and lonely of course not the same thing... but bottom line...

 

Relationships don’t define you. People don’t complete you. They don’t create your life. They don’t make or break what you do. They don’t give you the motivation or drive or encouragement you need to succeed. They don’t give you happiness, love, the sense of wholeness. You do. You, and you alone. And there is nothing more rewarding than discovering that.

 

Why folks must work on themselves because if you are “lonely” repair what is not working, work on yourself because until you do that it will be impossible to be with anyone else.

I do not mean do you like being alone, I mean lonely thru bad luck of some kind

What does luck have to do with it? Flip a coin and today I'm lonely, flip another coin and tomorrow I'm not?

if life goes wrong due to circumstances that are out of your control,

 

When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

 

In life, some circumstances are beyond the scope of our control. Maybe it’s a debilitating illness, a tumultuous storm, an unstable job market, or a one-sided end to a relationship. All we can do is choose how we respond.

Threre's no place like home for the holidays.....

 

Heh, that's running on the radio right now. The tree is up and decorated, a beautiful view of the forest through the window behind it and there are some last minute Christmas cards to get out.

 

Haven't seen a human in a few weeks. Being alone at the holidays was a bit of a bother as a young guy, gotta admit, but that was mostly due to social indoctrination. People, can take them or leave them. I give what I want and whatever happens, happens. Perhaps someone will come along, IDK. Seven Christmases alone so far. It's working. I'd say the first one was probably the worst, with exW enjoying her family and new BF and my mother having just died. That was pretty lonely.

 

When first clicking on the title, gotta admit I thought it was spam :D

 

Happy holidays to everyone and best wishes with whatever choices you make. Choice is a big source of freedom and happiness for this writer these days. OK, time to get those cards done. Heh.

TRUTH from Carhill as usual.

 

I am alone in that romantic sense as usual. However I am not alone. There are many ways to not feel lonely.

 

Try to appreciate your friends and family that you have. Think of life without them because the can't stand your SO. That is one outcome of a relationship.

 

(Romantic ) Relationships aren't everything.
