"Does it surprise you that much that someone other than you could be lonely?"

That was one of the most accurate, best, awesome quotes EVER! I got it from an Inuyasha fanfic I'm re-reading, in case anyone cared to know that.

But isn't that true? Lately, I've been hearing from a lot of people saying that they're lonely. And truly, it doesn't seem like anyone is suffering from being isolated. But in a way, we're always alone or feeling lonely...in times of melancholy, we never really stop to think that there are billions of people, perhaps even the entire world, who are feeling the exact same thing we're feeling. Isn't it ironic that we're this great big ball of lonely people suffering together, and yet we're dealing with it all our own? I guess it's the problem of humanity. We just take and take from the world hoping to resolve our issues, but we never do because we never really stop to think what the solution IS.

Sometimes I start thinking that I'll stop being lonely if I watch enough anime or if I find a boyfriend who really cares about me or if I hung out with my friends more. But honestly, I don't think that would actually help. We always turn to other people for our salvation and happiness, never actually accepting that happiness comes from within ourselves. We're caught in this state of denial. We've reached Expectations and the Whether Man is not there to help us along out of Expectations to wherever we need be headed. Even as I'm typing this, I know that tomorrow I'll just be the same as always, turning to others for joy.
