what is the URL of the ad? (or where does it go when you click?)

There are definitely times in my life when I get nothing but answering machines, send messages out into cyberspace that never get answered, and basically can't find anyone to communicate with--even though that is all I want to do. I used to wonder 'what's wrong with me that this happens". Now I get that I feel lonely and that there isn't going to be another human-being around to ease that loneliness. Sometimes I'll sit down and begin writing and, when I get immersed in my topic, I soon become glad that there is no interruption because I need the peace, quiet and, most importantly, time to concentrate and give what I'm writing my undivided attention. I have written some of my best poems in that space. Quickly, when I get caught up in the act of creation, I forget myself and my own feelings of loneliness and I'm fine again. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that you feel lonely when you want to connect with others and cannot (human-beings are social animals, after all). But then you have to find something to engage your attention and that requires you to contribute energy to break out of it. Otherwise, it is easy to feel more and more depressed and start down a path of doubting yourself. If looked at dispassionately, it also becomes apparent of how many times people reach out to communicate with us when we're not even looking for it. Sometimes there is this time delay between the outlay of energy to be in touch with others and others trying to be in touch with us. It isn't a one-to-one cause and effect, but if you put out energy to be in touch with people, the universe has a way of recycling that energy and sending it back your way at some unspecified time in the future. It can just suck in the present moment when you know you would prefer to be in touch with people, and there isn't anyone available for whatever reason(s).

Sometimes I feel this way too. These moments are brief though and they do eventually go away. It just takes time. Music is definitely a good way of fighting the loneliness. Interestingly, I listen to Eason's stuff quite a bit during times like these.
