Humans are intersocial creatures designed to be a part of a social circle and cooperate with each other. Loneliness is a big word for our understanding, when the population is at an all time high it can seem hard to think of other humans in your corner. Humans as individuals cannot face the entire world for it is simply too big.
Loneliness can jump in and we push ourselves into the corner of defeat; acting with our personal fears in tandem. We must face it alone, to overcome loneliness. Overcoming loneliness comes from its stem just as a flower grows from its roots. The stem of our loneliness is often overlooked in healing and moving forward; it is the invariable factor in all our struggles that we attempt to lessen throughout our journey here.
The factor that lies in my hands is my dad dying from a young age. I knew from the very beginning that I was going to struggle. Struggle was the least of it when I realized it would seep into every facet of life that I experienced. My relationships have struggled, my family life has struggled, my communication skills have struggled, my self-esteem has struggled. My struggle was how my dad leaving me affected everything else on top of him passing away.
Cutting the stem of our problem in this case being “loneliness” to provide everything you actually need and have not gotten from outside sources, make yourself the source of your own joy. Joyfulness is a playful fun big yet light emotion we all experienced. Creating the water that quenches your thirst makes you dependent on no person; simultaneously it creates a truer self that isn’t deprived of something it deserves in the first place. Beginning to nourish yourself is an amazing way to see your true potential. Molding the outside self to reflect the inner drives and emotions that we all feel inside.
