Loneliness

Loneliness is something which haunts everyone of us. But what is loneliness? Is it just the absence of people around you? NO it is not so. People can be lonely even when he is surrounded by a number of people. He may have a lot of friends yet he can be lonely. Loneliness is just not the absence of people around you but the absence of like minded people around you.

The Major problem of the teenagers is that they can't find people who will give them adequate love and care. They want a shoulder to cry on a ear to listen to their problems. And when they don't get these, they get into depressions. And it is really hard to come out of that depression. they can't accept the reality and hence tend to cry over the spilt milk.

So what is the solution? Live your life to the fullest. Try to avoid getting into troubles which can bring problems to you. Keep someone who will listen to you. If you don't have someone take the help of a personal diary(it is really a good listener.) Try to involve yourself in activities like reading and writing. And after everything keep faith in yourself. Always believe that there is light after darkness. There is always a silver lining even to the darkest of the clouds. Try to smile even in the hardest of the time and remember these few lines:

Time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
time can break your heart
but behind the door there is peace!

After all this is your life and no one has the right to spoil it.

Cheers to life!!!

There is an analysis of a song about lonely people in the following URL. In the comments section of the blog page you shall find a comment by me. I hope that you will find it appropriate.

When in the teens, we tend to exhaust us in wierd dreams ... Which seems blissfully pleasant at times, but when the fateful reality strikes, we find them shattered all around ...

We feel lonely, we feel there is no one around to help us persue the dreams .. We are left to the cruel hands of loneliness ...

But far upon a place where LONELINESS ends, stands HOPE with its door open for us .... There u smile .. U forget the the past agony, and thank LONELINESS to have led you to HOPE ... HOPE U dont feel LONELY any more ...

The line that rather tickles me from your post is:
"After all this is (my) life and no one has the right to spoil it." Along with that I would add, "And not even me!"
So my whole line would most likely have read, "No one has the right to spoil my life - not even me; especially not me!"

Running out to meet loneliness full-tilt head-on, and laughing with it is something that actually works miracles (every now and again).

Apart from that there's not much more I can write about or on loneliness.
Take care.
