Hike 1 - Tabur Hill - 2 1/2 hours of hike. One long rest in between.
"I am lonely,. And I am lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, i can see just how lonely i can be, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic."
I am alone....
Once again, i am alone... In this mossy forest that filled with sharp stones. Once slip, i will be history.
Yesterday, someone asked me 'Am i lonely?'. Without hesitation, i replied, 'Yes, i am'.....
They she asked a crucial question, 'Why do you think you feel lonely?'
I hesitated for few minutes.
"I feel lonely because when i tend to isolate myself, they allow me to drift away and reduce their contact times with me."
She asked " Are you afraid of being lonely or you are afraid of friends leaving you behind? "
I paused and thought awhile.
Tears streamed down my cheeks again.
I feel loneliness is a pain. Is an hollow pain which i feel completely alone and empty because there is no one to fill that hollow feeling. The hollow feeling is a result of my fear..... My fear of being alone. I am even afraid to go within my heart and allow this truth to surface that i am actually afraid to be alone. Thus, i did not allow myself to heal, instead i think myself as victim.
Fear of being lonely.....
