It's Another Manic....
Alone. Ever felt like that? This weekend's been a reminder of how loneliness can definitely trap you in a corner and make you feel the emptiness of the room. My dad told me once that one important thing in life is to be alone, but not be lonely. I've yet to master that skill and I think it might be a while before I do. Sometimes I just feel like nobody really cares or maybe I don't care for people. Ever try to have a conversation where you don't say anything and let the other person talk? Maybe I'm so self-involved that when I'm not talking about myself, I get lonely. I realize that I'm pretty self-centered. Maybe this has something to do with me not knowing what to say to people anymore. This whole electronic age has made talking person to person really uncomfortable. Have you ever been able to get along with someone really well online and in person, it just isn't the same? Have we really become stuck in traffic on the Information Superhighway? I long for connection. Eye to eye. I want to see people and experience humanity.
