Loneliness can be a good thing.

This is a two part podcast today.  The theme is loneliness VS solitude.  Today is Part 1 and I talk about loneliness.  It can be a bad thing – I have felt lonely that I fell into depression and  felt almost suicidal.  While I was waiting for and then recovering from brain surgery, I thought a lot about how shitty loneliness can be. I just don’t think we understand it fully. Because I now see how loneliness can become something great; if we let it.  My inspiration today was from a great quote by Jodi Foster,  “It’s an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That’s always been a tug of war for me.” This is how I have felt most of my life.  Next episode I talk more about the solitude I have found while alone on this journey.
