I dedicate this article and wonderful song "A Thousand Years" by STING to my dear, emotionally confused friend, hoping she will read it and let the sound soften her heart.

I am sure that a few of you will relate as well.

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face - Lyrics by STING

"Energy is all there is" - Albert Einstein

We need to understand how energy works and how other people's energy can affect us, therfore we need to protect ourselves to increase healing, joy and maximum strength.

I am confronting "Loneliness" once again from a different angle today, than in a couple of my previous articles and from 2 years ago because it became a continues struggle and issue in my life, facing my own situation, trying to adjust to a completely new environment. I grew up in a European culture but after living in America and SE-Asia for so many years, I still feel like a stranger in my own country, as I mentioned many times in my blog posts.

Where is my pack?
We might be the Alpha-Wolf :)

All takes time to find your place in different circles of friends, building a new social network, just as we do here on @steemit.

We get to know each other but it might not happen right away.

By the way ........

Did you know that there is NO sexism in a wolf pack. Although, both genders fight their own gender over ranking positions, wolves see each other as equal individuals and work together as a team. Humanity however, still doesn’t understand equality rights and continue to judge someone on something they can’t change.

I am not done with this topic yet because I am deeply involved to witness a lot of pain, one of my friends suffers and I feel helpless to explain that the acceptance of being alone, approaches only slowly. Step by step! Nobody can help to overcome the experience and lesson you must learn, through rejection and loneliness. It's a very profound and important skill we have to master sooner or later, if you wish for complete happiness and peace in-within yourself ........before you leave this planet.

I see so many people who are afraid of being Alone. They rather compromise than change, twist the reality as they wish to see it, instead of reaching that train to eternity.

this lovely poem I bookmarked a few days ago.@lord-faustus wrote

I get lost in the pages of today,
to find the meaning tomorrow,
to this despite that I carry in my chest,
for not having reached on time
the train that without stops
would take me to an eternal company.

The communication flow might be interrupted with our loved ones, partners as well as our kids or even with our society, communities we used to be close with. You realise that old friends and partners distance themselves for various reasons, we don't really understand why.

It's Ok!

People start feeling lonely because of a lack of connection, a somewhat anxious feeling of disconnection. There is patience needed within yourself first of all, to see clearly again, that it might be actually possible to embrace such intense emotion. We feel too weak, loose our self-confidence and forget that we are capable to set up the best possible "YOU", without needing anybody else.

Say Hello to Loneliness and find out who you are!

10 Comics Show A Positive Side Of Loneliness

I like this comic artist Reimena Ashel Yee who shows a positive side

Nobody likes to feel the rejection of being excluded

Researchers have investigated how the brain responds to social rejection. One study found that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex is active when people are experiencing both physical pain and "social pain," in response to social rejection. - Source

My beloved Eckhart Tolle explains in his sweet ways.

So, How can you learn to manage Loneliness?

I don't really know where to get started how I do it and enjoy a different kind of freedom.

It's really interesting when you see some people craving to be on their own and prefer to start all over again......."alone" ........while the others suffer "to be alone".

It can be so frightening, when we confront moments of rejection or in doubt with low self-esteem, even though we used to go through life, like "lions and lionesses. We discovered our superpowers as parents and were valuable members in our world we created for ourselves and families and then puff......all is just GONE!

Rejection served a vital function in our evolutionary past. In our hunter/gatherer past, being ostracized from our tribes was akin to a death sentence, as we were unlikely to survive for long alone. Evolutionary psychologists assume the brain developed an early warning system to alert us when we were at risk for ostracism. Because it was so important to get our attention, those who experienced rejection as more painful (i.e., because rejection mimicked physical pain in their brain) gained an evolutionary advantage—they were more likely to correct their behavior and consequently, more likely to remain in the tribe.

Rejection is the reason why some might hide, face depression, some might loose their mind, cry, scream, overeat, take drugs or maybe might find out, just like me that there is an important lesson, we must see clearly in the dark tunnel, you find yourself.

Get up! Go and find LOVE again or as I always say......Be LOVE and Let LOVE find you.

Then you have to remember that there are ONLY a thousand years to eternity!

"So! When is the divine order in place"?, was one of my questions in the following articles. They made me kind of laugh.

We are all connected and we thrive in this connection. It is possible that life style may lead to temporary loss of these connections. So. Feeling lonely is a reminder to seek these genuine connection with other living beings, nature, animals, humans alike.
Your current feeling of loneliness is ablessing in disguise for you to elevate higher possibilities and expressions in life ahead. When in doubt, err on the side of love and faith, miracles unfold around you, bless you!

I couldn't agree more with you! Thats exactly what I tried to express in my collection of thoughts. I see freedom in those lonesome moments.....I watch out for myself and stay strong, just like that Alpha wolf guarding his pack.

You're right, that's what I felt looking at your adorable eyes..

sweet!!! thankssssss

nice one @mammasitta this article represent of my feeling right now :)

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗


This great post is worth more reflection before I would dare to comment. Love!So moving and so rich! Will take some more silent time to read. I feel with you. The book „The Wolfsfrau“ is one of my favorite books. It is really inspiring (short description here: https://www.balancebeautytime.com/die-wolfsfrau-buch-ueber-die-weibliche-seele)

Die Wolfsfrau ist wirklich ein unglaublich tolles Buch!
Danke Dir!
🤗

Wie immer zeigst du dich einfach, und das reicht schon! 🙏😍
Es erinnert mich daran, dass ich auch diese Phase nach dem Dunkeln und Alleine sein schon hatte. Das ist eine gute Erinnerung. Das Jetzt, dass weiß was ist! Liebe.
Thanx Lovely!

Ja manchmal wir es Einem einfach zu viel und dann kommt die Zeit, wo man sich distanzieren muss und wieder neue Kraft sammeln muss. Es gibt zu viele energieraubende „creatures“ out there. 😷

Definitiv, die gibts!!! Habs gut du Liebe!!

communication is the key to share the best feeling if its not there nothing will ever exist

Manchmal funktioniert dieser flow aber leider nicht

Beautiful mom, you know what I think about loneliness. From your publication today, I say that everything is about vibrating at the correct frequency. Your friend must live the duel, assimilate it and transform it into positive energies, and there he will return to enter the path where the opportunities will be, it is only a matter of time. In our case, only when we feel free can we move along the right path, just as you express it. Everything is part of an evolutionary cycle that we must travel! I do not pretend to be cloying, but for my part I will always send affectionate hugs, simply because that is what provokes me every time I read to you. Best regards.

I hear you!!!!
I understand and agree with you but there are those times where the Energie and positive flow is interrupted, we feel paralyzed without seeing those new opportunities. That’s the time where we better sit still ....do nothing much. Just wait until we feel energized again and move on a little further.

I always love reading your posts, they make me so happy. I know I've said this before, but it's still true, so...:D
I've never been able to understand why some people can't handle being on their own, I always feel that they must be really sad and afraid on the inside, because it's really wonderful to be on your own.
That being said, I think it's really important that you also know you must connect with others, that your relationships with others can move you further, help you evolve.

I don't know what trouble your friend is having, but I hope she works it out and I hope it makes her stronger AND happier, in the long term <3

Her husband left, after nearly 30 years of marriage....

I couldn’t handle life if I couldn’t take my “alone” time away from “socializing ”. Sometimes I feel like all of my energie was “stolen” away from me. It can only be refilled when I take time out. I enjoy it!

Oh that must've been horrible, I'm sorry :/ But who knows what the future holds for her? Maybe something brilliant that couldn't have been achieved the way things were...
I know what you mean, I always feel drained after spending time with people, regardless if it's strangers, people I dislike or my closest friends...I love being alone :)

you are very genius. you are composing words full of feelings, I can feel that. for me, you are a great motivator I have ever known.
Amazing @mammasitta

Sometimes it's hard for me to communicate, I like to think alone, but my family rarely gives me this opportunity. Probably, becoming lonely, I would go crazy, because I was used to being in society. This is due to my work, a large number of clients. But very often I want so much to be alone on an uninhabited island and to rest from this rapid life)).

Иногда мне трудно общаться, я люблю поразмышлять наедине, но моя семья редко доет мне эту возможность. Наверное, став одинокой я бы сошла с ума, потому что привыкла быть в обществе. Это связано с моей работой, большим кругом клиентов. Но очень часто так хочется побыть в одиночестве на необитаемом острове и отдохнуть от этой стремительной жизни)).

I guess it’s best to find a healthy balance. I am overwhelmed when I deal with too many people for a long period of time. When I am alone on my imaginary little oasis for too long I will start craving the masses again. So! Both! That’s what I need!

Very nice post. I have lived in several different places including foreign countries and made lots of friends but I have also lost lots of friends through sheer distance. I have always heard that people come into your life for a reason and go away for a reason. It can surely be difficult sometimes but we just have to hold to the good memories and let the others go, I guess.

I have always heard that people come into your life for a reason and go away for a reason.

HERE we gooooo!

That's exactly what we should never forget! It makes it much easier to keep walking and waiting whats next :)

I love being alone because I'm an introvert. However, I don't always love being alone. Sometimes we have to connect to others. That's because we are humans and our nature is to be close to one another. As a Buddhist I would also say that each human being is connected to every other human being.

Thanks for the insightful post.

I only have a song as my reply.....however we choose do it, life I mean.... is totally up to us to decide.
I really hope that my friend reads this

Where is your friend! I wanna find her and make her read this post 😊😉

Our life needs an journey of love to fulfill our life with happiness but sometimes our life is not what we think that's why we call our life as an journey and an journey cannot be same all the time so sometimes people choose loneliness with an choice which gives peace to them but sometimes loneliness choose some people which gives pain to them because everyone needs love and when we don't get it then it gives deep pain and also gives trauma. I really like the example of the wolves and their chain of life and they literally walking like an great army of life and also it's amazing to hear that they prefer equality and it's an great example for human beings that we have to understand the concept of equality by animals, everyone is equal and everyone have the right to live good life, but reality is different most of the human beings prefer the selfish way means mother nature gave the resources for free for everyone but only few people are holding the large amount resources and others are facing the scarcity. So let's understand the life and live with peace, love, brotherhood and spread the equality. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

The saddest thing in life is feeling alone when you are surrounded by people.

And the man that cannot smile to his own loneliness is a sad, sad man.

I appreciate how you tied loneliness to being a lone wolf. Also, the facts about wolf packs as they travel. 🐓

The wolfs act like soldiers

its all about respect and mutual understanding with everyone :)

There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely ( loneliness) . We all feel alone at some point or another but when it reaches a certain level some type of help is needed .
Loneliness is a terrible feeling of despair , depression . I am not by no means an expert of it , but I have seen the results it takes on people .
A little helping hand goes a long way .

I know exactly what you mean

That's what Wiki says

ALONE : having no one else present; on one's own.
"she was alone that evening"

LONLEY : sad because one has no friends or company.
"lonely old people whose families do not care for them"

I mentioned that we can try to befriend loneliness and transform those feelings of dispair into new hope, look at such times as a transition, maybe to another exciting phase in our lives.

I agree with your post and the comments made .
So many people are in the grips of loneliness even with all the communication going on . The personnel close relationships where we used to do thing with each other are being taken over with text and other forms of communication . I don't know what can be done but fear that it will only get worse . Unless we make a huge effort to

befriend loneliness and transform those feelings of dispair into new hope,

It seem like every month or so I know someone who has a family member or knows someone who took their own life . This past week I helped my brother where his wife's sister died at age 26 leaving a 3 year old daughter .
I don't have the words for this except it hits my heart
