Once a loner always a loner. I am learning that the hard way.
The last month has been so stressful, I didn't think I would make it to this blog again. The fun part is, being a loner, I have not a soul on this planet I can share this with. May be they will discover life on Ganymede. (Mars is too close for my liking). Till then, my dear blog, share this cross with me. I am not sure how much longer I can take this.

I am not forgetting my friends in blogdom. Rain, in particular. Thanks for all your kind words. I have been through this earlier, maybe I will make it through again. Oddly, Loners tend to be rather resilient.

Hello Loner.

I hope your Christmas went well.

By the sound of your post, are you leaving? I hope not. I know that you are lonely, and I know how that feels. I'm lonely also. But knowing that I'm not alone in my solitary, makes me feel somewhat less lonesome. (does that even make sense?)

No matter where you are in the world, I will always be here for you. (hopefully)If I ever decide to delete my blog and stop blogging, you will be the first to know. I wouldn't leave you hanging like that, no, not you.

We loners must stick together.
Hang in there; you never know what the next day brings, or the next, or the next, and so on. I should take some of my own advice, huh?

Thanks rain. You are a such a great support. No I am not going to stop blogging. This is one of the few activities I still enjoy.

Like you said, we loners must stick together. A conglomerate of loners. Isn't that a contradiction in terms or something. Like a round square.

I have been your blog several times lately. I see, you have decided to moderate comments. On way that is good.(It blocks my comments out. So it must be good.)

hi! I am a loner too. I just want to say that a loner's life is sad but maybe things would turn out to be better if we just hope right?

Hope? Isn't that among the first things you lose once you become a loner?. That is an interesting poit. Let me see if I can blog on that !! If you don't mind, that is.

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.
