Lonely and Alone

Are different things

The easiest place to be lonely
is when you’re separated
from other people or
you’re missing someone or
you’re sick.

The difficult thing to remember
is that the lonely moments
are serving to remind you to
treasure the bits when you’re not -
lonely.

Being ‘unlonely’ is the kind of
gift we never remember to hold
in the palm of our hands
and treasure.
