to remind yourself that you are not alone - literally millions of people are doing exactly what you are doing, and thinking the same.
Makes me think about when I was much younger, and Saturday would roll around and I didn't have a date. Or more strikingly, New Years Eve. I always thought everyone out there was doing SOMETHING, being loved, dancing, laughing. And there I was, with a book and a bottle of champagne for the occasion. I felt somewhat discarded. And very alone.
Not sure where I was going with that.
And now, on top of the aloneness, I am old - yes, even elderly, so I contemplate my aches and pains in my isolation. The most hellish part is that I can't dance, and oh how I loved to dance. And even if you didn't much care for me, you would have liked seeing me dance. My center of gravity has changed, along with other things, and even by myself, I don't dance.
Dance, my friend, if you can. Even if it's alone. And if you can't dance, know that you are not the only one.
