Sitting in the park

It was 3 am. couldn't sleep, leg cramps so I decided to go for a walk. I ended up in the park sitting on picnic table looking at the empty playground. I could see the imprints of little feet in the sand, the remains of chidren playing, with not a care in the world. Enjoy little ones because life is coming fast and furious I thought.

I gaze up into the sky, as I usually do, to see what stars or planets are shining. What a wonderful view, clear sky and a shining planet. Trying to think, which one is it? Come to find out later is was Jupiter. Anyway, I'm txting with someone at the time and I comment "who else sits and watches a planet move through the sky", reply "some lonely man". So true and the truth stings sometimes. It wasn't said to hurt me just the reality that I am living in.

I guess the point of my rambling is I don't have a point. Life can be tough and unforgiving sometimes. I'm coming to the realization that I have created a life that I wish was different. Or have I? IDK

If you see me coming run, run as fast as you can. I'm an accident waiting to happen. (attempt at a bad joke)
Maybe it will change? Nah, who am I kidding.

Later all, have a good 4th.

I think you may have coined exactly how i'm feeling these days. Even my usual social encouragement of other people has come to a crawl.

The best i can say is...you aren't alone in your loneliness. Surprisingly there are a ton of us. An yeah every last one of us an accident waiting to happen. No one and i mean no one is perfect.

If any of us were then jupiter wouldn't be as captivating as it is, because we'd have the perfect people to look at. :p
 
..... For Such is Life.....


"We are born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendships can we create the illusion for the moment that we are not alone."

"Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better."

"Language has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone."

When you are feeling lonely or down, think on these things .... for there is much truth in them. The walk at early morn can be a time to ponder deep truths. We can all feel tiny and insignificant at times, especially when experiencing the vast majesty of the universe. But there is purpose in all life. I am hoping that as you experienced these feelings you described above, that you also found something beautiful in life that made you smile, even if for a fleeting moment. . . .

Have a good day :D
 
Yes, please do not feel so alone because you have the community here and as Puckit pointed out many of us feel the same.
