MUSE - Falling Away With You

There is this little piece of loneliness that I'm sensing from many friends at once. It reverberates with my own. Someone spending time together helps soothe that pain. We are limited in our ability to alleviate. It's not from a lack of effort or willingness to give of ourselves. Friends can fortify so much, but while they can be the skeletal structure, they are not the body; while they bring warmth and comfort, they are not the fire.

I think about some of the intimate details of my life that I've "thought out loud" in these pages. I've been online more often in the past week. I recognize how my own sense of loneliness is looking for a connection with someone. I see how in being denied in one sense, I decide to search elsewhere. And while looking, it's reassuring to know that I really don't intend on taking any physical action that would disrupt my uncanny mental stability of the past couple months.

In saying that, I feel the strength of my assertive and independent side reaffirming its membership in the Jeremy Club. Single side simplicity.

Memories melt simplicity.
