Alone

Sometimes it seems we spend our whole lives searching. Searching for satisfaction and for peacefulness. Searching for a sense of worth and most of all for connections with others. We convince ourselves that those connections will change us somehow, and they do. Within those connections we feel whole, joyful even, if only for a brief moment.Our relationships with others is where love is,and within that is a brief glimpse of what happiness could be. Yet, in the end we are really just alone. Alone with ourselves and our choices. Alone with our mistakes and our failures, our flaws, with the knowledge that the very connections that make us most alive are the same that leave us most alone.
