Nobody

Someone once said, ~No, life may not be easy, it can be lonely. Full of people we think we know, but barely comprehend. Yet, we must always remember: it's the challenges that define us best and the obstacles that illuminate what we're truly capable of. We must welcome adversity and embrace struggle, and no matter what we get from life, never give less than 100%. Of course, at the end of every battle weary day, we fold ourselves into peaceful darkness and find comfort in those gentle words...good night.~ Without a doubt, it's not an easy life for those who are living the single life as it can not only be a challenging experience to go through, but it's also considered at times a lonely existence, especially when it pertains to matters of the heart.

If you think about it, it's a challenge and a struggle to keep a smile on your face when there are certain moments that leave you with a lonely feeling within your heart. As I said before, it can be a challenge and a struggle as well to keep a smile on your face when there are certain moments happening near and/or around you that inevitably cause considerable discomfort. I think if you're a single person you would agree that witnessing couples who perform public displays of affection not in an outlandish way in such areas as in line at the movies or at an eating establishment with friends can be viewed as disgustingly annoying and yet there is a part of you that wants what they have leading you to temporarily wallow in loneliness both emotionally and/or mentally.

Oftentimes, one can most definitely go through a tortuous silence within their heart and soul to the point where it hurts even to take a breath. For it's a tough situation indeed to find yourself being the proverbial 3rd, 5th, or whatever wheel amongst a group of your friends who are in significant relationships. The happiness, joy, contentment, etc. you see in their eyes whenever you hang with them is a seemingly constant reminder of how much you're not only missing out on something so special, but the precious time you possibly thought you may have had is slowly slipping away. Let me tell you something, to experience that type of silent torture as you look from the inside out within your heart can surely lead you or may have already have led you to the brink of insanity.

Let me ask you this question to those who are single, have you ever come to a point where being lonely leaves you not be able to sleep at night? I think it's safe to say every person has gone through a sleepless night or two when they greatly experienced discomfort within their heart as they either stared up at the ceiling or simply standing/sitting looking out the window up at the starry filled moon lit night sky. Thinking about it, during that time of solitude all sorts of things run through your mind so much so that a person will possibly shed tears because of how much those particular thoughts can greatly affect you. Women, more so than men, know all too well about crying themselves to sleep when it comes to the feeling of being lonely and to them it's a fate worse than death.

In retrospect, the so-called battle against loneliness will always be a difficult one as there are obstacles put in front of your heart, so to speak, that test you emotionally. as well as mental will. What it comes down to is not succumbing to the mind games of what loneliness can do as it can be a tricky and devious adversary following you like a dark shadow. However, it's good to know that you have great friends to back you up all-the-while praying to God and even though they may not know what you're personally going through in your heart and mind, they support you nonetheless, which is what true friendship is all about. In the end, love or true love for that matter happens/will happen for you, me, or anyone else but I can safely say nobody wants to be lonely, which is a song by Ricky Martin and Chrstina Aguilera that reflects this particular thought.
