“I’m not frightened. I’m not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.”

― Bernhard Schlink, The Reader

“And I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it! But I’m so lonely!”

- Little Women (film), 2019

This film may have been set in 19th century, Jo’s statement (and sentiment) rings true to so many people today, not just women.

This feeling of loneliness - of longing - is becoming almost mainstream. By sensationalizing “being lonely” we have made it seem almost like a personality trait to feel this way. But it’s not a personality trait.

I think we all feel lonely at times—not always to the severity of certain mental illnesess (we pray God brings peace to those who have them), but we do feel it.

But loneliness isn’t a reason for love; one does not solve the other.

It’s so easy to jump into a relationship in attempt to repair the loneliness in our lives. This new relationship may bide us temporarily, but soon enough we realize that without a real connection the honeymoon feeling will soon fade away, leaving us more lonely that ever before.

Because it’s one thing to be alone, but completely different to be lonely.

It’s not about the people that leave. People always leave. It’s about the ones that come back.

“If the girl had been worth having she’d have waited for you. - No, sir, the girl really worth having won’t wait for anybody.”
