Feeling Lonely? It’s time for some introspection

 It’s not for the first time that I have gotten aware of this dreadful word ‘Loneliness’. It has been a part of me since ages. How? I really don’t know!

The only thing which has happened now is that I have accepted it and that is why it has become my best companion I never had!

All my life, I kept looking for freedom, love and attention outside of me, because my inner self was too occupied with lack of self worth and lack of confidence.

I had in me, this very small part of self worth somewhere, which occasionally used to come out when I performed on stage, especially during my school days.

Ironically we are surrounded by so many people in our lives, but we are still unable to express ourselves fully to others, Why is that so?

Because honestly, we all somewhat lack the ability to understand ourselves, if someone knows who they are, they just don’t care what others think of them.

Isn’t it too much to think about? It is, indeed!

Loneliness is increasing in this world, last year it was reported that it has somehow become the global epidemic, why am I not surprised?

What I believe is Instead of becoming a victim of anything or anyone most importantly our past; we must stop, and question ourselves that what exactly is causing this feeling within us? What is it trying to tell us?

In my case, it compelled me to essentially stop for a while and rethink and get reborn. It propelled me to stop escaping from my void and reopen my wounds to let it heal properly.

This uneasy feeling which we feel at some point of our lives is actually a calling if we truly understand it. This call is asking us to spend some time alone with ourselves to introspect and to come in terms with our fears and failures.

Obtaining solitude and embracing it completely is just like achieving the biggest milestone in our lives.

A total bliss!

To be able to become comfortable with our core personality and willingness to face all our pains and groans in order to get back up is a remarkable triumph.

Loneliness is not lethal unless and until we change how we perceive it. We should consider it as an opportunity to turn it into reinventing ourselves, to completely transform into someone we imagined and even beyond that and to create a path of our own rather than succumbing to mediocrity and living this life just for the survival.

My loneliness is actually my wakeup call! It’s time we must answer this call and accept it wholeheartedly as only this is truly our best companion in every which way.
