Loneliness

The game of hearts and minds burns frothy to match the temperature of our blood. A volatile assortment of creatures at best, we excel at complicating our lives amongst each other. Somewhere along the way, in the catacombs of time and human development, a need has a risen fanatical within us all to deny solitude. While it is natural to desire companionship, are we incapable of existing alone?

A sick parasitic bond has festered within all our minds--a notion that happiness is merely tolerating misery, and any moment free of it is a true gift to be cherished. It lies out there to be contested amongst the millions of couplings that litter this planet, yet why does it seem that living life for one's self seems to have dissolved into the ether. Think about the dreams and potential mountains you could scale, the endless possibility writhing in your veins, yet we discount ourselves in the favor of comfort and shared misery. Speak of it like this; how is it that anything meaningful can thrive if the soil is not tilled. If the foundation of ourselves is fit to crumble, then what growth can there be, what semblance of beauty do we truly offer?

Fruition of the self is a constant maelstrom within every soul that strives to be the zenith of it's potential. If only we strove so fiercely to reach the peaks of our greatness, then in that moment of epiphany and earth-shattering self-empowerment, would we realize we are fit to be the very best we can be to another that deserves it. Tolerating anything less is a disservice, one we've fit snugly into like the frayed blankets of our infancy. The root of this contagion lies in the bubbling evil of fear that lies dormant in the deepest recesses of ourselves. It is fear we must combat, for it shall rule us all if we so allow.

Fear. Fear of solitude, and even more so, the truly contemptible notion of loneliness. Let clarity exult this from the crux of our beings; in solitude we find the true mettle within us all, the power to exist through anything, a fortitude to question and demand the very greatest of our dynamically short stay on this world, and most importantly, the fiber of character that imbues us with the capability to understand what is truly important without one mote to distract us. In empowering the fallacy of loneliness we retard our capabilities as humans, as empowered beings that need only our determination and will to exist. Don't let it ever be said that in solitude we are dying, because that will be the reasoning that seals you in the prison of dependency, and there exists no harder prison to escape.

Gather steadfast the courage stockpiled in the viscera of your being, grasp it with assurance, and set out upon the deluge of lives that swarm you with each rising sun. Embrace it all, the eye of the storm, moving through it all in confidence that you shall never waver. Throw out the fear of the unknown. Eradicate the fear of loneliness. Free yourself from the manacles of thought that will enslave and ensure the misery of myopia. Let the rush of life thrum through you in acceptance of yourself, of the greatness that is within you, and in doing all this; you shall be truly free.
