"Lonely."
So simple a word yet so heavy...its meaning is known to all, yet once in this state we repeatedly have to "explain" or "rationalize" this feeling not only to others but also to ourselves. The complexity of loneliness as a feeling, lies not in its meaning,but in its tendencies. Many people may feel "lonely" but the diagnosis may vary. Some feel lonely in the sense that they are misunderstood, others may be surrounded by people and feel out of it or out of place, there are those who feel it in a physical sense and seek companionship, love and remedies that seem more tangible to the human eye. With all these differences one thing is certain, to be in a state of loneliness often breeds a desire to fill a void leading all loners(used lightly) to a state of longing. The frustrations that back the "Why's", "How's" and "Are You Sure's?" may get to your loved one as much as their uncertain answers do you, because with the vastness and depth of this state of mind an "I can't quite put a finger on it" is an honest,open and soul-bearing answer. It may not look like it on the outside...but trust they have said all they can in that moment, for they seek answers just as you do,but to a test they didn't opt for.
