Lonely Hearts Club

Anita Johnson-Brown Editor

Loneliness plagues most people, here is how one Author combats or never gets lonely.

Loneliness is not the cornerstone of my life, companionship is a great movie, a walk in the park, spending time with family, smiling at a stranger, and gazing at the beautiful things that God has created, and man has invented, boredom, is a routine, but never that bored to do spontaneous things, such traveling across the open sea, to an island of landscaped beauty, writing and being creative is a passion that satisfies me, it is like being intimate and expressive with the man I love, it is like a man strong arms wrapped around me, his smooth yet strong body, is enough to hold the gentleness inside me. Making me his everything. Writing is like a ride in an open chariot of ecstasy.

Companionship plays a central role in my life, as I cherish meaningful connections and find joy in simple pleasures like watching a captivating film or taking a leisurely stroll through the park. Spending quality time with loved ones, offering a smile to a stranger, and admiring the wonders of the world, both natural and man-made, brings me immense happiness. While routines can occasionally breed monotony, I always maintain an adventurous spirit that drives me to indulge in spontaneous endeavors such as embarking on an ocean voyage to reach an exquisitely landscaped island.

Writing and embracing creativity are profound passions that provide me with a sense of satisfaction akin to experiencing intimacy and expressing affection with someone deeply cherished. Just as the sturdy arms of a loving partner offer unwavering support, writing envelops me in its soothing embrace while enabling me to unleash my innermost tenderness. It elevates me to new heights of ecstasy akin to being whisked away on an exhilarating joyride in an open chariot.

I am captivated by various qualities that draw my attention - intellect, charisma, and engaging conversations that fill my heart with delight. A day spent basking in the sun's warm glow at the beach represents countless moments brimming with genuine smiles and unparalleled contentment. A day at the beach is worth a thousand smiles.

Socializing is best enjoyed with those who are interesting and comforting. Meaningful conversations should be the focus when trying to catch my attention. If you happen to be the man I love or someone who piques my interest, we can have open discussions about anything, including vulnerabilities, temptations, and deepest fears. It's important for friendships to be respectful and caring. Personally, I prefer not seeing friends every day as it can lead to friction and strain on intimate relationships. Instead, girl gatherings once a month are ideal for unwinding together. However, discussions about intimate details of my relationship or lovemaking are off-limits.

There are various ways to combat loneliness. Engaging in hobbies and doing what you love can help immensely. If being around people constantly brings you joy, ensure that your friends share similar interests so you can hang out regularly – whether it be daily or weekly.

I'm not someone who enjoys partying or going to clubs. Give me a good movie and some popcorn, and I'm content for the evening. Loneliness rarely affects me because I find solace in reading a gripping book or writing a brief, and sometimes reaching out to childhood and longtime friends via text.

So who am I? Have you unraveled the mystery within me?
