a lonely heart that isn't mine...

"don't you ever feel lonely?"

a couple of weeks ago, a friend asked me this question that prompted me to look within my heart for the answer and ponder further even days after our meet-up.

well, my first answer to him was, "the last time i felt lonely... i can't remember when was it."

it's true! i can't remember the last time i felt lonely. i guess that means i'm quite happy with my life now? or could it be i'm always so busy, that i've simply no time for loneliness?

anyway, like i always tell people, a person can be alone, but never feel lonely. and when a person is lonely, he could be at a party surrounded by friends, or at a concert surrounded by people, and still feel the loneliness in his heart.

i believe, first and foremost, you need to be able to enjoy your own company before you can enjoy other people's, and for others to enjoy being with you. if you yourself can't stand being with you, how can other people enjoy your company, right?
