I love the alone time and I’m learning to deal with the lonliness that comes with needing my freedom. I’m still dating cute guy – just need a lot of jali space these days.

I wish I would have learned the difference between being alone and being lonely. Now I am here on my second marriage…and more lonely then I ever have been before…Only now I love the two children that he has and am afraid to leave…

I just wanted to thank you for writing what you write here. I’m in the middle of going through a divorce. The learning to live alone, rediscovering life, figuring out what you want and need and what is superfluous. What you write here isn’t always easy to read – sometimes it hits far too close to home. But what you have to say has made me stop and think and feel I’m not so different Thank you.

Sometimes we jump, and sometimes we find ourselves tumbling while wondering why we hadn’t seen the edge approaching

I don’t know if I ever learned the lesson between being alone and lonely. I married young and have a young son. I probably would have jumped into the pool after my dog not giving her a chance to resurface on her own.

I agree with Scrape and Joe about the allusion of holding yourself back.
Thank you for the great post.

Learning the difference between being alone and being lonely is challenging, and one of those lessons I’m so glad I learned.

I’m no longer telecommuting to work since I was laid off in January. However, I’m freelancing, so I’m still working at home and I spend most of the day alone. I’ve learned when I need to reach out to my friends for a quick chat and when to go run errands that don’t really need to be done. I go to the salon nearly once a week to get my nails, eyebrows, or hair done.
