Loneliness or Solitude

I cannot decide.


“Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.” Paul Tillich



I was running this morning thinking to myself about loneliness and solitude.

That quote says it all.


“True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.”


So far, I've found a few friends in this journey called 'life'

I've always craved a best friend, someone to call in the middle of the night, someone to just have that ...bond....with. I've never had that friend. I did have a socalled best friend once. She nearly destroyed me. So although I do want that again, I'm terrified it will happen again. 

So along I plod. Step by step, day by day, hour by hour. Biding my time until......I don't know. The end I suppose. Which end? I don't know.  

There's something out there, at least thats what I'm told. Do I believe it? maybe, maybe not.
