Loneliness

There’s been a decline in things that I’m willing to discuss in this blog and I’m not really sure why that is. I’m more careful and reserved, I think more about the way I put things, and I don’t think that’s a good thing.

-

Yesterday was another one of those days in which I couldn’t make out what was going on with me.
I come back from the university at mid-day, don’t too much for a few hours, then feel as though I’m dead tired and fall into half-awake half-sleep state, later on I get up and zipzap through some channels, not being able to find anything that’s remotely interesting to me.

I don’t connect to my friends (who might be reading this) as strongly as I did a year+ ago, for so many reasons, and most of the time I don’t feel like meeting new ones. I refuse, not even politely anymore, the endless offers and suggestions of going out on dates. I don’t feel like partying or going out for drinks. Sometimes, quite often recently, I don’t want to see anybody, I don’t really want to talk to anybody.

It has already become a pattern with nights like yesterday’s, in that my mind would usually go wild with lots of very unclear issues colliding within my head into a point of which I would feel very confused and very tired. Thoughts about love, friends, studies, work, travel, passion, meaning. Thoughts I can’t and don’t really want to control. They keep banging each other for an undefined period of time, of which it would seem like I’m watching something, but I’m actually recalling memories and fantasizing in a kind of a lucid dream. Sometimes, something related to what’s currently going on in my head appears on TV and then I wake up for a few seconds to see what’s going on and then slowly decline back to the same situation with even more thoughts.

There are a few things, that those reading this blog know about, which I’m passionate about, even very passionate about. The little that I am interested in about in people, movies and life, has to do mainly with where I was two months ago.
So, being very aware of that - some nights, I try to be very practical, and I sit down on the Internet endlessly looking for directions and possibilities that would comfort my soul that way, but the more time I spend doing that the more I realize it’s useless. It doesn’t stop me from keeping at it, which soon gets me into a mood. I then become very tired yet I don’t want to sleep. A zombie.

Everytime I talk about this or write about this, I sound to myself like a boring ever-complaining cliche. Recently, I even make the inexcusable mistake of putting on an “OK” face to avoid discussing this with people anymore.
“So, you’ve settled back in Israel, eh? you’re working, you’re studying. Good, good… you’re back on track” - I hear people saying and I nod with a “Yeah, all is great over here. Israel… life, work, absolutely wonderful” face, but inside… inside…

Time? don’t think so, don’t want so. Time isn’t a valid solution for me anymore. I don’t know what is.

    What a great opportunity for you to become truly independent.

    Truth be told, I’ve never felt lonely.

    To be at one with one’s thoughts… and be enveloped by silence (and embrace it in return) is really something quite magical.

    What you’re feeling is entirely normal. =D I felt like that I was living in some vaccum when I first returned to Australia after three years in Japan. It was weird… but interesting.

    We’re constantly trying to find that elusive equilibrium. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The answer will find you. Just relax.

    Go forth and conquer!

    Reading those words of yours, the only thing I sense here is your honesty and your courage in facing yourself. I truly think this sensitivity of yours will give a birth to a new awareness.

    I dont want to say any comforting words for I know it might get a smile on your face but wont do the Real job.I wont say any suggestions about your state of mind and body either for I know that even when I know things-I do not really know them,moreover things about other people.So I will say only what I am sure of : These writings,thoughts,wondering of yours,are great by what they do to you even if the feeling of it is unpleasent.Not all the things that make us feeling unpleasent-are wrong.Would it be easier for you to live through hell if you knew that it is a part of what you need to do on your way? I guess not,but it sure will make you live through it :) So what I did once is to accept it as a part of My way. Namaste.
