The Different Faces of Loneliness: part 4
With denial, emptiness, abandonment, then comes desperation.
It's easy to fall into all sorts of temptation that bring about temporary happiness. I see it, it's so accessible: sex, drugs, alcohol... the things people do to avoid loneliness.
Recently, I was asked this question over the phone by someone I see myself falling in love with (if I give in). But he is so far away. 'Are you okay?' He asks.
Damn right I'm okay! I'm in the right circumstance to easily fall into infatuation. I mean... it's inevitable!
I have this belief that one magic component to finding love is by having a small portion of loneliness in your heart. That's when a person, such as I, become receptive and open to emotions. It goes both ways though: either love or hate.
And folks, I am a lover.
