You are not Lonely

How many times has this happened, that you feel lonely only because you don’t have company. When you do want to climb the mountains and hills, spot a rainbow in the snow or just sit in your tent and enjoy the wrapped mountains in front of you. While you die for such views, have lots of friends, but no one wants you. When timings don’t match, or well, you have no match. When going out with strangers for a trip feels like a risk, when you can but are tied down because of parents. When you have the money, but don’t want to spend it alone.

Then you go to the bar, by yourself. Then you check all events you would love to go, but everyone you know is elsewhere. Then you select a date, and ask all your friends, and they don’t reply. Then there’s one friend who wants to, but parents don’t allow. And another one who doesn’t want to come without ‘the one’. Then there’s another friend who fights over cheap stay or an expensive one – The budget guru. There’s also an adviser, the trip spoiler, the know it all.

Then you think to yourself, “Fuck these guys!”, and hit it off, alone, with the unknown to the unknown.

You find calmness and bliss. Nothing worries you. You miss no one. In fact you wish they weren’t here. In fact, you wish to be without them. You meet new people, not necessarily have to befriend them. But it’s okay, to have company in silence. You learn to enjoy by yourself. You then get to understand yourself. You know yourself so well, what you like and don’t. Because you have now grown some guts of your own, and you can decide on your own.

So do go alone. Somewhere, if not too far, be it near. Grow some balls, don’t be too harsh on yourself. It’s good to scared sometimes. It’s good to be by yourself sometimes.

You are not LONELY. You just seek COMPANY.

You are not LONELY. You are just by YOURSELF.
