contentment...

Why is it i have so many things in this world and still feel something missing?
Why is it i am surrounded by so many loved ones and still feel lonely?
I feel myself stripped naked writing these down.
Are these just passing thoughts or have i always felt them simmering in me?
These feelings. Never over-the-top. Yet its omnipresence knocks at my consciousness, every once in a while.
Is it normal to feel this way?
I enjoy solitude. Loads of it. I need a lot of time and space for myself. But there are times when loneliness creeps in unknowingly.
Sometimes, i'm confused even as to whether i'm enjoying the solo flight.
Again, is this normal?
Will this gap be filled by a special someone?
But if you're with someone because you're lonely, i don't think that someone can fill that gap. Momentarily, yes. But when the novelty wears off, loneliness steps in again.
Are you with someone because you're lonely and you need someone to take it away (if that's ever possible)?
Or is it because you truly enjoy the person's company?
But then again, is there anything wrong being with someone simply because you're lonely?
These questions hound me all the time. Maybe it's because i want to seek truth in myself. Maybe it's because i'm bloody too free and think too much into non-existent issues.
Issues that nobody else bothers to tink about. Simply because you can never seek answers to them, or perhaps they are too inane for thought anyway.
Is the answer simply "contentment"?
But isn't contentment something that everyone's hankering after but never fail to grasp?
Am i normal?!?!

hmm....let say if u have achievement contentment, meaning you would not have bothered thinking what you have not achieved in ur aspect of ur life.
And not everyone can fill up the loneliness in ur gap of solo flight. If during the flight, u found someone whom u can seek solitude or shelter, he might not be the special one. but he can be the final one. Not everything can be solve at one shot. time play a part. let time factor in too.
N anyway teng, wat is TTM?

You are absolutely normal. We all get bouts of melancholic moments. A person can be surrounded by loved and cherished ones, but still feel like the loneliest person in the world. A friend once told me, that while he was in Hungary chilling in a beautiful spa next to his partner, whom he adored, he still felt intensely lonely. We all feel it from time to time.. Cheer up! Things can only get better!

It is not TTM, it is life. What Zhen has mentioned is part of everyone's life. Give her some encouragement although you all know she like to talk chimalogy at times. Haha...Gal, have you thought of studying philosophy or maybe write a real book??--Trashbin
