Practicing the art of loneliness for years, cocooning myself ,was my way of dealing with the labyrinth of emotions life tried to entangle me within.
It was an attempt to keep up with the “dead inside” image I so boldly portrayed. Until a certain someone came in, stumped me over and walked away.
After much efforts I was able to bring it back to me again. My age old friend. Mister Loneliness. But this time it was different .
I was different
I wasn’t shutting myself up, protecting myself anymore.
I was just preserving what I had bundled up during my time with him.
Even in the silence of loneliness, I began to hear music
Even in the daze of loneliness, I began to feel emotions
Even in the emptiness of loneliness, I felt love!
Loneliness wasn’t what it used to be anymore.
