learn to be lonely

Sometimes, when pain is strong you are all alone. Sometimes when pain is at its strongest, you actually want to be alone. And sometimes something happens and makes you realise that you are so submerged in pain that you have learnt to be streetwise enough to hide it. And other times you tend to look at other people and ask, what star was I born under? Why not a magic star? And you see your life from yonder and wonder where the yonder star found itself. And you realise that you may have been born with a sentiment de vide which is difficult to shake off. And then.. you also realise that you have learned to be lonely, and for you it is a way of life. And the human brain is a wonderful thing, it adapts itself to the situation... you learn to laugh and cry in your loneliness...and you learn to love to be lonely.
