Let It Be

What is it about being lonely that is SO gripping?

Why is it so powerful? It's only a feeling... it's only perspective.

I'm pretty sure that, most times, lonely isn't really about being alone...

It's probably more about being forgotten... or lost.

And most people... okay, me... can be completely surrounded by people and still feel lonely.

It's weird, isn't it?

I've been thinking about it a lot today. I wish I were the kind of creature that could detach from emotions. I wish I could shrug my shoulders with a great big, "Oh well. What's next?"

Too bad. I'm not.

Instead I've got to figure out how to sit in it and let it be okay.

Let lonely be lonely.
