Alone

To be alone is scary at first. You dive down deeply, with an unlimited supply of oxygen, but discover that a vast nothingness prevails. Before, you felt simply lonely at times. But, you've never truly felt so utterly alone.

It's scary to believe that we live and die alone. Before, you felt as if other people could "complete" you. Your funny friend could bring you up when you were down. Your party-loving socialite friend could show you a great time, and make you forget about the pressures of life. But, now you discover that you are alone.

You are not lonely anymore. Nothing can steer you away from yourself, because you are not influenced anymore by outside experiences. What is this feeling? Is it depression? No, before you would get depressed because you felt lonely. But, this feeling of being alone is more of a realization of a greater truth.

You are not merely part of the bigger picture. You control your life. This is because life is you. You are life. It is hard for you to put into words, but you know that this mind of yours is only recycled thoughts and ideas from the world. Nothing is original. Your body and mind are a machine, but there is something else. There is a larger truth.

The real you is that larger truth. You are the truth. You are the world. The world lives within you. You do not merely exist in this world. You are pure potential. A pure momentum that cannot be guided or swayed by force or mind. You are eternal.
