"Loneliness is a Bliss"

We often complain about being lonely. We see people post pictures with their friends, laughing, smiling, and going all hearts and emojis in their comments. We think that they are having the perfect life, and we are just alone, doing nothing. This thought that others are having fun while I have no one, only this thought makes so many people feel so sad. Many people lose their spark. They believe that they can never be part of any cool gang. They kill their own self-respect, their own belief in their abilities. And social media makes it worse. The posts and pics make you feel like a loser as if you are doing nothing worthwhile. Are you getting me? We are made to feel alone even when we are not. We are made to feel like a loser even when we are not. And you know the worse part? We allow it to affect us.

What is it? You don't have many friends. But what's wrong with that? You are very choosy about people. You are too real to post pics with fake snakes. How can it make you any less cool? You don't go to many group outings. You are not in those birthday posts and videos. So what? You share your life with very few and special people. You have grown out of that stupid rat race of the number of friends or number of likes on a post. You are actually awesome. But since you watch their online game, you think you are just not living it up. Please stop. Loneliness is a bliss. It gives your soul time and space to grow. Surrounding yourself with too many people all the time won't help you become a deep and better person. You have to have that time alone, that time when you feel empty. Only an empty heart can absorb the beauty of life. A heart with too many people and things will just kiss the surface. It takes an alone, empty heart to kiss the soul. Stop with this belief that a crowd around you means you are awesome.

Spend some time with yourself. Think about life, emotions, reasons, people, mistakes, and dreams. Go deeper into things, your feelings, your desires. Become a person full of thoughts, not just a person with many friends online. 

You have one life. Live a real one.
