Today, a colleague of mine asked me, have I ever feel lonely sometimes? I thought what was wrong with him, suddenly asked me that. And I answered him, yes, of course I do. Being single is fun and everything, but loneliness does follows you around. Even married couple or people surrounded with friends and families all the time will still feel lonely sometimes. I told him that to avoid being lonely, just find something to occupy your time and try not to think about it.
Loneliness is my friend whom I seldom see because I'm occupied with work. But when it shows up, I just take a deep breath, and smile. Find something I enjoy doing, and have fun with it. Sometimes it can be good for us too you know. It give you time to think of your own self, and along the way, you get a stronger self-awareness. Of course don't stride into the negative side of thing, which some people tends to do. That's a big NO NO.
Being lonely is not that bad. To that question, after some thought, the answer is Yes and No. Yes because I do felt it sometimes, and No because I love being alone, and I have family and friends and stuff to do every day, and that's that. Hah.. :)
