Something to ponder heading towards another new year and kissing myself again at midnight
by Jonbloke,Dec/29/2019
Sometimes I ask myself , am I lonely ? or desparate or just needy and washed up. There are certain days I don't look my best it is true but my soul and heart are good and I crave interlectual conversation and stimulus more than having a partner just for the sake of it , like many do , to feel part of something and not all of nothing.
So it is better to be alone rather than compromise oneself and your own sense of
happiness, and I do sincerly believe , despite many heartbreaks and failed communications, both online and in the " real " world, my idea of happily ever after still exists and although it may only at times be a candle as opposed to a roaring fire, there is still a light in any darkness :)
So I end with this quotation, and wish all who arrived here, a true new year and good wishes whereever you are or long to be .
" Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a mystery , Today ... is a gift , and that is why, it is called The Present "

Bravo! and thanks for your insight. :D
Hey, I really like what you said here. It is definitely better to be alone than to compromise yourself just so others will accept you and at that point, how can you be happy for long if you've created a mirage of yourself that you're now trapped in?
One great thing about being happy on your own is that you don't feel compelled to sugar coat yourself at all. You can just be you and not concern yourself with trying to impress people or give them what you think they want. You're just genuine you and people will either like you or not like you based on something real and not the mirage that you can't possibly sustain long term without plunging yourself into misery.
"Happily ever after" certainly does exist. It's more of a mindset than anything else. The tricky part is finding someone who "gets" you when you're not trying to impress them.
I do feel lonely from time to time, but feeling lonely while in the company of others is even worse. They only like the mirage you've trapped yourself in and now, you're a prisoner in a cell of your own creation. That's much, much worse than feeling loneliness while by yourself.
everyone feels lonely I know that is the worse people like us and others need to keep themselves busy. I Ruthi from Mass
