Loneliness is a state that we detest being in. It's scary. Often it is forced upon us by our preferences. As such, it's more a psychological constraint than a practical one. When lonely, we feel starved of social contact and lose a sense of belonging.
When loneliness is dealt with a sense of grudge, we get placed in a disadvantageous corner. From there, we can benefit from participating in action around us, but everything is at an unreachable distance.
We feel deprived, neglected, and unwanted. That is a downward spiral.
When loneliness is embraced, we can witness everything around us with an open mind. We don't need to rush to fill the void by surrounding ourselves with people. But we know we can step into it slowly and participate where we feel most comfortable. Often by contributing our original.
The courage comes from being open to the idea that loneliness can be shed and retracted at our will. Then lonely corners and quiet observations become vital. One that can make us go on a path of creativity, albeit unknowingly. That starts the connection.
