~ Loneliness ~

I believe there're many ppl who truly enjoy their single lives  ~  They're happy  ,  excited and upbeat .  They go thru days feeling optimistic and cheerful . Their schedules are filled with frds ,  family and social activities  ~  yet they feel lonely from time to time .
I think all singles will go thru periods of not only feeling lonely  ,  but of actually being alone  ~ your best frd is out of town , your buddies have gone scuba diving . You've called all your acquaintances and they're all busy . Now that you don't have one soul to spend  ur day with ! 
Loneliness is a painful feeling ,  especially when you face the starkness of only being greeted by your dog day after day  ~  it's very depressing ,  isn't it ??!!! 
Loneliness is a gnarly beast that lurks around smothers your delight and leaves you standing sad and small ~ On my worst day ,  I feel worse than lonely  ~  I feel stale , abandoned and forced by whims of fate to live alone ....... I feel very very sorry for myself ~ BUT ~ it's still better than feeling lonesome sleeping next to someone you barely know!!
