The Difference Betweem Being Alone or Being Lonely

 

 

The difference between being alone or being lonely are far apart. The truth about being alone, is we all want to be alone at some  point in your life. We all look forward to a day (or night) When all the problems have been addressed and solved. There is no one in the house but you. And most important... you turned your phone off.  You take a bath and let the bubbles cover everything except your face. After you realize the water is getting cold, you get out and dry off with your large bath towel. Now, it is time to spread across the bed. You are thinking about your kids,, but mainly you are concerned that you don't know when they are coming back. The time seems to go too fast and even though it has only been few minutes, you are afraid that someone could come home early interupt 

your  "mini vacation" !!!

The opposite would be the word "lonely". You can be in a room full of people. Or you can be in bed with your partner. You can be in a store full of people. Even when someone is pouring out her heart, you can be lonely. The loneliest I ever was,,, I was sitting on a beach of sand,, watching the waves bounce as the boats speed by, and a tear crossed my cheek as I realized  that noone even recognized that I was there. People would throw sand on my blanket, as they ran to the water. It was not a bad thing, neccessarily, but I almost didn't exist there. So... I packed up and went home where I could be alone!!
