We can be though, for that one should love their God and oneself.

Our hobbies surely make us not feel lonely when we are alone, Am I wrong??

That's the trick, ain't it!?
There's a very distinct difference between being lonely and being alone, but I'm sure it's fun to be alone too.

Hi Fairy, thanks for your thoughts. I agree, hobbies are great for the soul, like posting on the Cafe :)

They aren’t the same thing are they? There are times when I cherish being alone, hapoy to be so. When I have space to choose how I use that time for myself. Trying to find the time to write poetry for instance. I am usually too busy. I can honestly say I can’t remember feeling lonely for a long time. I have a full household. Constantly surrounded lol.

Hi again, Chris. ...No, they're not the same thing. ...Happy for you, having achieved a nice balance in your life. I'm happy to have alone times too, I don't even do social media, unless you count the Cafe 🙂

Being with people who make you feel alone is a nightmare.

I don't think most of us understand that we have already met our best friend and lover. We often neglect this person for such petty, shallow and stupid reasons.

It is quite the trick, self contentment... self love.

Excellent work. I love it!
