“The lonely people have taught me, that I am not alone.”

“I have always known there is a difference between loneliness and aloneness. I am alone, but my father is lonely. And if I had to choose one, I would rather be alone.”

“Just because I am alone, does not mean I am lonely. I am not you.”

“Still, as I watch the sun journey higher up on the horizon, I appreciate that, for only the second time in my entire life, I am alone, blessedly alone, with no one to tell me what to do or what to wear, no one to have to be polite to. Nothing. But I do not wish to be alone, not entirely. Now that I am finally alone, it feels...lonely.”

“So I am lonely, but not alone, like everybody else.”

“I am a computer professional. Like many people, life has taught me the terrible impact that people who are out-of-control have on others – especially vulnerable children.”
