very cool video . . as you say ham it restores ones faith in humanity . . and it reminds me just how amazing humans are and how much we can overcome with brains and technology . . it helps me to believe that we have within us the power to eventually overcome all of the worlds problems . . as the dalai lama says never give up . . . never give up . .
yes questions to myself of course . . and no dont have it all figured out . . but yeah i've thought a lot about this . . but it would be great if someone could add something i havent thought about . . existential loneliness as opposed to everyday loneliness for example . . how the two tie in. and yeah interesting what you say about me not inviting discussion . . maybe thats one of the reasons i'm having a loneliness relapse . . i've become so used to doing everything for myself i cant even have a discussion . . haha!!
oh funlaugh . . norfolk island alone . . ugh!! guess you're not going to be doing a lot of laughing over the next few days . . unless you just have a big giggle about how dull things are and be happy that you're only there for a week. i feel for you . .
and yes having someone to do things with . . go for a walk, go away for the weekend . . and have someone to go overseas with . . theres so many great package deals around but they're all twinshare!! i have no problem travelling alone . . i've been doing it for years . . but those twin share deals are only designed for couples . . the world does tend to favour couples . .
yes i understand the part about being happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else and its one of the main reasons i havent been in a relationship for so long. if i cant be happy living alone with myself then how can i expect someone else to want to be with me. i see so many people running (away from themselves) from one relationship to the next and wondering why none of them work. its not just the young that want instant gratification . .
and after talking to a lot of people of all ages about loneliness i'm beginning to see that the loneliness we feel when we're young can be very different to how we experience it when we're older.
i've also spoken to a lot of people who say they're not lonely even though they've been alone for many years . . and that they're quite happy being alone and would never want to be in another relationship . . but it also seems like many of them have simply just given up on life and love.
i dont think i'm ever likely to give up on love even if i end up being alone for the rest of my life.
what a lovely little video . . was already aware that we're made of starstuff but yeah great to be reminded especially in such a beautiful way. reminders like this help me to remember what really matters. thankyou zebaztian xx
thanks for your comments lovely people . . really thrilled to see that i have some comments and i appreciate everything you all have to say . . i've never blogged before . . so yeah thanks . .
thankyou maryb . . what a wonderful list . . i so enjoyed reading thru it . . .but the best part was reading through it and realising that at the age of 58 i've pretty much achieved most (if not all) of whats on it. and that made me breathe a very big sigh of satisfaction becasue yeah . . its been a tough ride at times and i know whats its taken to get to this place.
i've even come to a place just recently where living alone is pleasurable . . didnt think i'd ever make that one . . but i can honestly say after feeling at times like i was crawling over hot coals as a single woman i'm finally in a place of contentment with myself. there really are a lot of good things about being single . . in fact i'd say its no better or worse than being in a relationship . . both ways of being have their ups and downs.
