First I learned there are other loners out there. Then I learned there are people out there who care. People who actually seem to be concerned about you. And all the time I had assumed a sort of worthlessness which now seems to be, well, rather disproportionate.

Sure, I knew there are nice people in this world. I never knew there were great people. Ok, I am not talking about GREAT people, you know. I am talking about the ordinary people with the spark of greatness in them. What can be greater than caring about a fellow human being whom you don't even know.

No I didnot. I ignored no one. In fact that is why I didnot name any one. That was a general remark, anonymous.

I try not to be a loner, but everytime I try to reach out, the door slams in my face. I wonder all of the time. Am I meant to be alone for the rest of my life?

If I fell down dead, no one would notice. Only my job would call to see why I didn't come in. Sad to think that I would rot before anyone took notice that I wasn't around.

Hello rainstorm1212, this comment beats me. I always thought of you as a very outgoing person.

Hey, if you fell down dead, which I hope you won't,rain, we would all notice. I read your blog and I enjoy your wit and your language. That blog means a lot to me, oldgrrl. So I would notice and I am sure so would lots of others.

Well, now you noticed. People see things in different ways, so if you want to see it as a general remark, then do so. It's hard to distinguish people's emotions online;and it's my opinion. Nevertheless, although there are many definitions out there, what do you guys think a 'loner' is?

Thanks, Loner, that was really nice of you. No, I'm really not a very outgoing person. I'm a homebody. However, the only time I was ever outgoing is when I went out every weekend and got drunk. I drank to take away the pain. I don't drink anymore.

I was always a loner, since high school. Why? Because I was the different one.....Oh, well, I got to spend a lot of time in the library at lunch time. LOL

The Tree

The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.

Today was not particularly bad as days go. I had my usual share of being alone. Deep in the madding crowd. Sometimes I wonder who among the multitude teeming around me are actually of my special category - loners. We don't tell each other you see. And when we do tell, we use odd names, hmm. like loner2. My other life, the one everyone assumes is my real one, went off as usual. The same old crowd. The same old nonsense uttered all around. Everyone pretending to be the best guy or gal on the planet. Man, it is quaint. Oh, I forgot to mention this one. I need to tell about my dreams. Some people would call them nightmares. So brace yourself for some weird posts. Most of them are going to be disjointed, 'cause like most people I don't remember the dreams in full. But unlike Plato, I do know they are dreams. Maybe they ARE dreams. In fact I believe they are dreams. Just dreams.

Maybe loneliness implies detachment. This is not what an old comment on this blog says. It says loners are basically asocial beings with some hidden grudge in thier minds. I don't think so. May be there are loners of that version out there. But detachment is the phrase that has been on my mind for some days now. The true meaning of detachment is way beyond me. Embracing emotions, experiences. I don't know. May there is something in that.
