I agree with Pat. Same reason I stopped reading friend’s journals constantly. I find that part of friendship, is the actual act of listening and knowing that they spent time listening back.

I feel like you’re a much stronger person than I am, someone much wiser and experienced in these matters of loneliness. It takes a lot of strength and resolve to accept such things, and it seems like even though you may struggle with it yourself, you know what needs to be done, whereas I’m still figuring this out.

I don’t mind acknowledging or facing to the reality of what I experience, even if it is a perception of reality. Running away from it won’t solve the problem. I know I want to be happy, if I can do that in the face of my own darkness, it’s worth a try to do something about it.

Not yet…I bought a bunch of cinnamon raisin buns that were getting stale, but I’ll be eating the cheesecake as soon as I’m finished those. You should have saved a piece for yourself! Or you can just try it next time you’re at my place. :D

It's very hard for me to accept that "it's supposed to be that way". I don't want to believe it, and think there's something I can do about it. But sometimes I do realize that it's out of my control.

Yours (and mine) are not a pleasant realities to acknowledge. I guess I need to get used to it.

“Everyone seems to fit somewhere, but I’m not sure where that leaves me. On days like this, when I’m surrounded by people, it makes me think that perhaps I still don’t know where I belong.“
– exactly the same feeling i had when i was over my friend’s apartment the other night.. maybe it’s supposed to be that way..
.. so yeah, you’re not the only one who doesn’t know where you belong…

The thing you have to realise is that you do have people that care for you as friends. Sometimes that thought alone is enough to get you through your day. You can’t blame yourself or your life or the lives or others if you aren’t getting enough social interaction in your life because life gets in your way.

It happens, and it’s left to us to deal with it while constantly reminding ourselves what would our friends actually say in times of our need.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t stop me from blogging my thoughts because maybe unlike what you have, I don’t have people dropping by asking me how I’m going in life, willing to listen to whatever is troubling me, regardless of whether it’s online or real life.

So in my case, I realise I don’t fit in anywhere I go. So it’s up to me to do something about it and build a world I can fit in, even if it’s one person at a time.
