I guess we all find ourselves alone sometimes in our lives. Sometimes we choose to be alone and sometimes not. I'm concerned about what everyone's quality of life is while they are alone. Whether it is peacefull or turbulent. We all need people in our life. But are people relationships an escape from lonelyness? It's alright to feel lonely. But how do we cope with our aloneness? Are we happy?

     Happyness can solve a lot of problems in life. Sometimes we have problems with even our closest friends. Living alone can help a person discover themselves, what's inside the heart.

     Aloneness as a choice can open doors. We look for things to do. We look at ourselves. We think about the things we really want to do, our dreams. But the problem of trying to escape lonelyness can lead us away from true happyness, the kind of happyness where we accept ourselves and like ourselves.

     We can't live without others though. Lonelyness can help us to remember the happiest moments of our lives and who was with us. Just spending time with someone as an escape from a fear of lonelyness can be really awfull, though. Where does that fear come from? What are we afraid we will find about ourselves if we are alone?

     Lonelyness isn't bad. It is there alone where we can discover ourselves. There we can begin to make changes. We can discover the solutions to problems. Even if we have nothing to do we find ourselves examining our past and accepting it and ourselves. 

     With God we are truely never alone. My relationship with God is the most important thing I have. God loves me. Next is my relationship with myself.  Next is my relationship with those who were there in my life at the happiest moments and there at turning points. Old friends who found a relationship with God I've found to be the ones who care and love the most. Lonelyness leads me to a place in my heart to know I'm needed by those in my past and then to let them know I love them and I'm okay. It can be very rewarding when an old friend finds you after a lot of time has past and an old relationship is started over again as you find eachother again.

     But if I wasn't feeling lonely then would I even care about an old friend? Would I have the time to? Probably not much. Even when there are no words thinking about someone who loves you is great therapy.
