There was a time when I was having the experience of loneliness. At that time, it was as if I was left alone. I did not have anyone around me that could give me that sende of companionship. I had no one to look up to and there was none I could call upon in times of trials. That was not so palatable. I might not be able to tell you the entire story. Of course, at some instances, the story is not very pleasant to share.
Before I go far, I want to call you to join the weekend engagement prompt. This post, I am making it in response to the #weekend-engagament, week 303. The questions are in the prompt. I am attempting the question that asked about how we have dealt with loneliness.
As I was growing up, my brother brought to awareness that the family i was living with were not my biological parents. That was when I come to realize that I was not counted in by the other siblings in that family. We were all growing together but the way I was treated proved that I was an alien in the family. Believe me that was another level of loneliness.
I was lonely because no one treated me as if I was important. I was lonely because I usually have my problem to myself. There was no one who was willing to give me attention.
How did I handle that form of loneliness? I needed to sought for a place where I could have some people around me who accepts and make me feel a sinse of belonging. So, I changed my location. Today, the city I am living in has been a source of great achievement for me. So, I left my location of loneliness and went to where I could settle myself among like minds.
