In the face of loneliness

It is hard having to witness and feel this darkness shattering in front of you. Its is not that easy to know that you are in this phase of your life right now. I know that it leaves you empty are paralyzed -- and it feels like it is haunting you wherever you go. But maybe loneliness is an emotion that you are compelled to encounter and understand after all. Maybe it is knocking on your door because there is a lesson that it needs to deliver to you. I know that is scary, but the fastest way to figure your way out is to welcome it, come face to face with it, and ask for what it needs. See, loneliness stays with you not because you deserve it but because there is something in your life or within yourself that needs forgiveness, healing, or human connection of all sorts. And trust me, you will breathe again and the fire inside you will burn again...
