Forever Never Alone

I feel that the term "forever alone" is overused. I admittedly use the term on occasion, but I try not to. I mean, no one is truly alone. The probability of someone being alone is immensely slim; everyone has someone who has you in their thoughts, who feels privileged to have met you. There are about 6,973,738,433 people in the world. Someone is bound to show you some concern. 

If you feel you are "forever alone", it's probably your fault. You need to learn how to let people in, and at least try to have an optimistic view on life. Why be negative when you can be positive? Even if the world seems to be caving in on you, just remember that there will always be that one friend who, like me, takes time to try to help and is there to panic with you when life gets a little hectic. 

Sometimes I apply the term to myself. Sometimes I keep myself company. I enjoy the sound of silence, if that makes sense. You, too, could master the art of being alone if you find something you really enjoy doing (painting, writing, etc.). That is the only thing necessary to create a happy life. You don't exactly need friends, but you shouldn't completely shut everything out. If you are currently reading this blog by yourself, it's never too late to step out of that life of solitude. 

I am trying to become a self-proclaimed optimist but- let's be honest- life is rough and makes it as hard as possible to stay positive. When I'm feeling sorrowful, I try to remember that somewhere, there is someone going through the exact same thing or possibly something even worse. Some people feel so depressed that they can't believe that. The universe is infinite. The chance that the universe goes on and on without there being a repetition of certain galaxy structures or planets is minuscule. Somewhere out there, there is another version of you that is going through the same timeline. That thought comforts me, and favorably will comfort you too (and hopefully even "the other me"). 

Remember: it is your job to make life the best it can be. Rest if needed, but just don't give up on anything! You can never know how close you are to achieving a goal, and a single action can change everything. And if you feel you are hopelessly "forever alone", keep in mind there is one in this world for everyone. Keep on keeping on! -Lindsay
