And I know that I have been through both, being alone n being lonely. Although I have been lonely longer than I have been alone, or so I think. Especially being lonely midst a crowd of people, I know is something I was feeling way too often in the past few months. However, in the last few weeks I have been forced to spend time alone, due to ill health, and I have started enjoying it. It's an exhilarating feeling to be alone, with yourself and your own thoughts. I do meet people n am around them most of the day, but their absence affects me less now. Being alone would be scary initially coz I would start thinking of all that wrong in my life n all that's missing. But now, being alone gives me time to work on areas of my life that need attention n entertain myself by myself. It makes me feel less dependent on external factors for my happiness n peace of mind. Being alone is certainly powerful n beautiful too :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605424599207842616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873117933414389614.post-60290215353042707902015-06-05T09:59:50.754-07:002015-06-05T09:59:50.754-07:00Thanks Madhuri...Thanks Madhuri...Fifth Elementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849674569900041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873117933414389614.post-33545190816739238022015-06-05T07:34:41.908-07:002015-06-05T07:34:41.908-07:00well said, Ritawell said, Ritamadhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470461524956974015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873117933414389614.post-13677544074272434612015-05-30T21:13:39.894-07:002015-05-30T21:13:39.894-07:00Preah, it's true every human being has fear of...Preah, it's true every human being has fear of being alone, but how many would like to admit it. We run away from ourselves. We don't want to confront our own truth so that we can continue believing in the image we have created for us. <br />But it's also true that we use our fears conveniently. What we really want to do, we take a stand, and when we have some self-doubt, we hide behind our fear. <br />When we are alone, there are more chances of our masks falling. And we don't like that. <br />What we don't realise is that behind these masks is the real YOU, with all its powers and splendour.Fifth Elementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849674569900041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873117933414389614.post-47161228697170162742015-05-30T21:11:19.803-07:002015-05-30T21:11:19.803-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fifth Elementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849674569900041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873117933414389614.post-27974663838037808142015-05-30T18:44:08.103-07:002015-05-30T18:44:08.103-07:00Very well written Rita Mam.
