I post too much :X
I hope people don't de-friend me due to my over-posting. Yikes.
I had to write this down:

It's totally possible to be happy and lonely at once. Right?
The human condition is fascinating!
This coffee will soon jumpstart my productivity.

I think that's the definition of how I'm feeling today.

What do you think?
Your thoughts?

Yes, I believe it is possible to be at once happy and lonely. I will use myself as an example of this.

I am now happier than I had been for a long time. I am now also lonely. That feeling of loneliness is enhanced and clarified by the awareness of what I want and do not have: a real partner in my life. Meanwhile, I am surrounded by magnificent friends and caring family. That helps me to be very happy indeed.

Maybe it's the same with you. Are you aware of exactly what it is that's making you feel lonely? Have you put your mind in a calm state and either meditated or visualized what it is you want or need in your life? Or perhaps just where your path needs to take you?

For me, my own visualization and path-of-self has me dropped and plunged into an open and heaving sea. I learned to ride the waves of that sea and master myself within them. They or I led my visualization-self to a shoreline, helped by the beacon of a lighthouse. Though I wanted very much to land at the lighthouse itself, my path brought me to a black sand beach half a click away from it. Then I discovered that the lighthouse was not on my path at all, but just a beacon for me to follow on part of that path. Now I walk a primitive trail across an undulating landscape, looking for green hills and the breath of new life. It was dark through most of this journey, but now a gathering dawn seems to be brightening it a bit.

Wow

Thanks for this insightful response.
I really feel like at the moment, I am struggling in convincing myself to do any path-work/meditation. I do not know why.

I feel... like a loose cannon.
I know I can do it, I just can't seem to shut the world out long enough to do this.
I must motivate myself to get there.
One step at a time, really - I suppose.

Lemme know if you ever want to talk. I know that I have questions for you.

First question: What are you doing March 31st - April 3rd?

Hell yeah on the happy and lonely thing.

I was much happier on the whole after I moved out of my mom's house, but I was also extremely lonely. So it was good, but it sucked. And that, my friend, is one of life's little paradoxes.

I think it's actually easier to be happy while lonely, though. People create chaos, so the less people around, the less chaos.

The thing is, people also bring love, so that lonely-happiness can only go so far.

Hmmm

I've got people in my life.
But not.
So it's chaotic and lonely.
How dumb.
