Alone?

I felt so alone that I ached inside.
I thought I was all alone, surrounded by people~ all around me through this vast communication overload called the internet.  There are so many ways of communication: email, chatting, facebook, im, etc.  There are so many ways, and yet, I stared blankly at my wall~ wondering, where are my friends?  Who are my friends?

Am I alone?  No.  But do I feel alone?  Yes.
How do I go about changing that?  I started this week, by reaching out to others.  Saying hi to others first.  Both in real life and on the web. 
That's when my connections were strengthened.  Though these connections can never replace human-to-human contact, face -to-face time, still, this is a start. 

I am taking one more step.  I am going out of my way to meet up with the people that I've contacted.  Not all, though my heart wishes, my duties constrain me.  I lack time to do all that I want to do.  So, I'll take small steps.

First may quite possibly be a giant step~  I'm going to an art show/christmas party!  Yay!  It'll be something very new~  :)  Looking forward to it.  I wonder if I'll go alone~ well, even if I do go alone, there'll be someone I know there who'll be thrilled to see me~ and it's an opportunity to meet more people.  Who knows what these connections will lead to in the end?  God alone knows how He's going to use these connections.  I'm looking forward to the adventures He has in store for me! :)
