Overcoming Loneliness

~ Let's face it, this pandemic has dampened our social lives.

Is it just me, or are the days blending together? It seems that all we have at the moment is work and home, home and work. And it feels so polarising. We have to suffer from finding connections through the virtual world, with our friends and family. And, when we do meet up in real life, it doesn’t…

From the introverts to extroverts, if anything has changed is the notion that introverts, alike the extroverts get homesick too! Do you feel lonely, or miss onto your once "good old days"? Well, I do. That's a void, a void that cannot be filled in with any liquid, a void that does not possess any trait- neither a shape, a size, a colour nor even an identity! From becoming master chefs to gardeners and everything in between, life seems to be a liquid and humans, as jugglers; juggling up their lives, from the here and now.

"Connections', such a beautiful word! And, that's what is human dependency. We, as social creatures crave socialisation. Just as petroleum is to the vehicles, interactions and mingling are to the worldly folks. Life goes on, it never ceases and so does loneliness. But, does it entitle us to stay stagnant and dormant? Well, if we do that we let algal blooms of psychological problems proliferate within thee. If prolonged and neglected for a long tenure, it's apt to say that human, " a walking junkyard".

And, surely we are not! Humans are myriad creatures, a walking houses to stories bubbling within the laps, lorries and definitely not junkyards! Right? "Where there is a will, there is a way." If one certainly wants to overcome one's loneliness, get rid of the pangs of craving for socializing. Let's assume ourselves to be Metals, and for once on the face of the Earth possess its qualities.

Be Malleable, so that you learn to easily adapt and modify yourself according to the altering and varying circumstances.

Be Ductile, so that however high the heating temperature of the extrinsic factors be, our melting point remains so high that you don't get brittle. Draw into connections and relationships, not into loneliness!

Maybe that's how one can overcome loneliness, get rid of negativity, eradicate thoughts of failure and self-harm.

"Because interactions- virtual or real; is that wireless network, that will outshine all the bandwidths."
