Death By Lonliness

Sometimes, or most times, we do not know that which will take our life, but we are indeed certain that someday, at a particular time and place, we will depart from that which we call reality, we will depart from that which we have always known as our life.

Life could be a lot of joy, this joy mostly come from love, friendship, relationship or companionship; but what if you do not have all this? What if that which is meant to give you joy is lost and you cannot find another? Do you become a lost course then?

One emotion every human will feel in their lifetime is love, not necessarily one directed towards them, but that which they will direct towards another person or thing or animal. Love is the unavoidable feeling a human will experience.

Loneliness: the complex and unpleasant emotional response to isolation or lack of companionship. This is a feeling we all do not want to encounter, it hurts deeply, cuts deeply and makes us weak and vulnerable. This feeling breaks your heart every single time.

We are all opportunist, we do not seek friendship or become others companion only just because we think they need us, or because we love them; we become friends with someone because of ourselves also, if we do not seek another out, and we remain as we are, then loneliness will trip in, and as humans, we are constantly running from it.

In the state of loneliness, everything seems to fade away, when your companion(s) have been lost, you seem to have lost a part of you. It is true when we say man is not complete without companion(s).

We should never play around the idea of isolating ourselves, you may have been hurt by a lot of people out there, but isolating yourself will only take you to the state of loneliness, and with loneliness, you start to die slowly inside. Do not be too proud to apologize to those that you love, even if they are wrong, you need them just as much as they need you. If you have lost your companion(s) to death, distance or for any other reasons, dust yourself up and find new ones. There is always someone out there who also needs a companion, find them and live the joy that comes through love, which is achieved through companionship.

At every cost, try to avoid death by loneliness.
