I can sympathize with feeling lonely, but don't connect the symbolic nature of such situations that easily. To go all pop Buddhist on you: When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm lonely, I go look for friends. When I'm lonely and hungry, I eat where I might invite someone to join me.

Yeah, but sometimes you don't like anyone but you don't really particularly want to eat alone either. Or something.

[rogerdr]

I can dig it.

I honestly hadn't expected this to one of my more active posts.

What I got out of it isn't him being lonely, but the sometimes-very-easy-to-fall-into idea that you can't be happy with what you have unless someone else wants it (or it's better than someone else's).

[rogerdr]

Heresy!

It's in his left hand.

I had a ten-day stay-cation all by myself, and it was BEAUTIFUL.
