Alone. . .and. . .Loneliness. . .

Not everyone can be alone.
Not everyone can live alone.
Not everyone can live in the quiet silence.

I have realized it requires a type of maturity and a self acceptance to live and be alone.
It takes courage and strength to wake up and go to bed alone.

Being alone forces one to examine who they are, why they are, and how they live.
Being alone forces a person to support, encourage, and endure themselves!

Sometimes it is easier to lose our selves in doing for others, rather than examine who we are and taking care of oneself.  

And yes, it is different living alone and being apart.  Living alone, no one ever comes home, as opposed to being apart, they will eventually come home!  Eventually coming home, is only a separation with an end; living alone is permanent, no end in sight.

Being alone and loneliness are two different things...
You can be lonely in a crowd, and you can be alone and not lonely!
