Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made

31.1.12

LONELINESS. 

a feeling of disconnect & incompatibility haunts me from time to time . It's a feeling I've struggled with off and on since I was a child . Now that I am growing stronger in Christ and less in the world , that feeling of loneliness is trying to rear its ugly head . talk about wrong timing . One can feel lonely even in the middle of a crowd , center of attention . my struggle has always been feeling like there's no one out there to get me or understand me ... I'm definitely off and I know that ... sometimes I'm totally secure in it , but the times when I'm not , I begin to feel lonely . so I'm praying for more confidence in ME and my likes, my interests, my opinions, my lifestyle, etc. 




Hebrews 4:16
Therefore let us draw near with confidence
to the throne of grace,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.

  1. I know exactly how you feel. I've felt this way before and battled with the problem as well. It's not easy let me tell you but it's something I think we all go through in order to really find ourselves, who we really are. I didn't stop feeling this way up until one year ago.I was stuck on being someone who I wasn't and that wasn't making me happy. I felt so alone even though I was surrounded by my daughter and loved ones. I was even borderline depressed I'm not going to lie but I sat myself down, wrote down a letter a to myself telling ME what I needed to know. what makes me happy, what doesn't, my attribute, flaws, what needed fixing and what didn't. I know I'm a little off topic here but I was also agnostic. I didn't believe in God, and guess what? I felt his spirit one day during Sunday mass. I asked him that I needed to know if he was real and I felt his presence.

    I hope you do find yourself Kamielle. I know it isn't easy or maybe you have but I know that part of feeling alone and disconnected from the world has some to do with the fact that we need to find our true self's and be happy with ourselves :]

    If you need someone to talk to don't hesitate to hit me up at whatever time. I'll always be here to chat <3

  2. Oh wow . Thanks so much for those words of encouragement . I've found myself and I know who I am and where I want to be , I'm just trying to become more comfortable with who I am in a world where there doesn't seem to be more people like me .. that's where the feeling of loneliness comes in .
