    "and just submerge in one another"...what a great way to say it. Stay strong, focus on doing well, and you will find happiness.

    Loneliness is a state of mind. It seems like a terrible thing for me to say, but it really is. I'm not saying that its your fault, but being open to people and being open to new relationships is a very tricky business, and it requires a lot of practice, gentleness and compassion. Everyone thinks that relationships should feel effortless, but when they do that's generally a sign you've found the right person to go on a long slow down-ward spiral with. The sad truth is, most things are accomplished by people who have learned to be alone. Solitude seems to be the hard prerequisite to creativity. I don't like being lonely either, but it seems to be a universal given. When you've learned to be alone, you become a small kernel of strength, and you start drawing like minded people around you. I was a sad junkie in my twenties and now I'm a journalist, musician and teacher, married and living in three story house. People wouldn't let me sleep on their couches, convinced I'd steal something. I'd get kicked out of coffee-shops and stairwells. People who knew me then see me now and they turn slightly pale, because they're sure I'm dead. It literally freaks me out some mornings when I wake up. How is it possible I'm not still living in a squat? It still gets lonely though and I know exactly how you feel.

      I understand your point. Well said; at times that's exactly how i feel, and in a way when we are dependent on people it makes us weak, and co-dependent. And when i see myself now, having been though every obstacle in life all alone with out any family support system, i feel brave, i feel I'm much stronger than an ordinary an person. Putting the early marriage aside, I've accomplished a lot despite the emotional turmoils i had to face because of my own selfish family and my in laws. I took divorce 3 years ago when i was 23 and luckily i completed my education after 11th grade during the 6 year i was married. So i started doing law after i took a divorce and now 2 months ago my LLB finial years result came out and i cleared all subjects, so I'm a lawyer but the funny thing is, i was so passionate about doing law, now that I've done it, achieved my goal, i don't feel like working (maybe because i have a bit of migraine, although it is only worse when I'm stressed coz of my dad and honestly i miss having people around me). Plus i write in my blog on twitter now and then. I see your a journalist, that's interesting- i love the written word, I'm a hopeless book collector as well. I have huge passion for writing myself, but i need a lot of improvement and learning.

    I understand what you are undergoing. Even I got divorce under similar situation. Though my husband never stood beside me. They all were rogue. They even didn't love my six mnths old child. Any ways, such is life. I pray someday definitely you will find a wonderful person who would bring a good change in your life and make you happy forever. Trust in God. God bless you.
