This is for Your Loneliness

If the self cannot be accepted by you, how can others be allowed into it?

In order to write about loneliness to the depth that I desired, I found I first had to talk about the concept of the Unloved Self. Why? Because the root of loneliness is found in this aspect of our being. Loneliness exists due to an inability to connect. We did not begin our lives unable to connect. We learned over time what was possible and what wasn’t. We were taught connection was impossible by the people around us. Certain parts of ourselves couldn’t find the connection or expression that they needed. These are where loneliness stems from.
