Age, loneliness and sorrow are kicking my ass.
I don't reach out for help because I don't like to feel needy and I don't have anyone to help. The emptiness I feel is compounded by the overwhelming sense of helplessness.
I know it's why single people die sooner than married people. There's a lot to say for companionship.
Loneliness is everything it's cracked up to be. It's one of the few things that lives up to the hype.
Unfortunately, nobody asks and we don't tell. It's sad that the condition feeds on itself and we are left to wander.
Lives of solitude are meant to stay that way.
Why doesn't anyone believe in loneliness?
Stand up and everyone will see your holiness.
They say if you look hard,
You'll find your way back home.
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone.
"Zero Chance" Chris Cornell (Soundgarden)
I hear you...loud and clear...
ReplyDeleteI hear you too. I have been there. There is remedy, you just have to reach out for it.
ReplyDelete-there is one, Who will never leave you..He's waiting to hear your need.
I hope you are feeling better. I don't know what brought me back here but I wanted to share some things with you that I have been through.
ReplyDeleteI went through a period of time when I truly believed I needed a mate to complete me. I felt so lonely and just half a person. I just assumed that what I was desperate for was a mate. I wasted a lot of my life in sorrow because I couldn't seem to find that mate.
Later, after I found my spouse I realized, that although gratifying and meaningful..it was not what was lacking. We are born with a God shaped hole in our hearts. Perhaps what you are feeling is that void, searching to be filled? Jesus is the only answer, my friend. I have found that Jesus is the only one who offers the hope we long for. He is true. He will nevery harm you, leave you nor forsake you. Never.
Never, because He is a spirit made-up in your mind, so how could He possibly disappoint you? Imaginary friends who aren't around to criticize, condemn or complain can't possibly offer anything but positives because we make it up in our head. God's will and all.
