You're Not Alone

Feeling alone. It's something we've all felt before. It's not fun. But what do you do?

In the past year I've had my best male friend move to Russia, my best female friend move to Kansas, and most of my other friends move elsewhere because they've gone off to college or on missions for our church. I've always been the oldest in my class so I've always fit in better with the class above me. While that didn't used to be an issue, now that their graduating time has come and gone, it leaves me with a year of loneliness where they're gone and I'm stuck here. Overall the last six months have been pretty depressing and lonely. But you know what? I'm not alone.

None of us are. I promise there are hundreds of people out there just like you and me. You can't always tell when someone might be one of the lonely people - but trust me - they're out there. I think that we could all do a little good by befriending someone around us. Get out there and make a friend! Show someone around the school, help a coworker at work, talk to the person you sit down next to at the bar, ask how someone's day is going. There are far too many ways for us all to interact with each other to be wasted on staring at our computer screens all day. 

If we can all just interact we wouldn't feel so alone. Let's not fill the world with tiny glowing screens, let's fill it with hope, love and dreams. Face it - you're not alone. There are hundreds and thousands of lonely people right beside you.

What do you do? Go.

Love, peace, and happiness,
Griff
