Putting Isolation On The Run

Have you ever seen a swan, swimming by itself for long periods of time, and thought to yourself, what's wrong with this picture? Well, indeed there was, something wrong. Research shows, swans mate early-in life; way before their reproductive stage, which takes place around age 4. Right up there with learning how to swim, is pairing up! They also mate for life and should that mate die, it can take up to a year to sync with another. The beauty of this, swans know one another. Aw, the word "Know" one of the most under-rated words in the dictionary - it alone denotes intimacy.


Fortunately, prolonged loneliness, the swan don't know. As for me, it's a different story. I understood it and later became intimate with. I'm the daughter of a well celebrated man; noted for his suave, his wit and the fact, he was well-paid. All factors in making confidence. My father entrusted me enough to convey, a haunting spirit that seemed to have followed him his lifetime- he would tell me, he could be in a room filled with people and yet, felt alone. This knowledge intimately, enabled me to pinpoint where my experience got its root.


Isolation is real! It is not partial, it vex any and all people. Why others find it shocking that it's in the world of the so-called celebrated folks, is amazing. Whether it's your features or your impressive accomplishments held in high esteem. We are met on-sight with pre-judgements such as, stuck-up, shallow, a certain man believing he's not on your level and more! It's a terrible and an empty feeling to be looked upon admiringly - but not really handled, nor fully invested in.


As you thrive, for intimacy, drive back prolonged isolation with knowledge - be advised, that possibly other factors could be at play. In earnest, examine when it seems to lurk - keeping intimacy at bay. In your search to understand your plight - ask yourself, what type of intimacy do you need and not the kind you want? Study the different forms of intimacy that you can obtain, in other ways other than physical intimacy. i.e. This blog, a shared experience; Experiential Intimacy - (it's about growth of personal development and self-awareness recognition.) Know into Emotional Intimacy, Intellectual Intimacy and Spiritual Intimacy.


Over the course of my life, I've met scores of women, whom they, too, have experienced isolation for long bouts of time, some who live bitterly, some in denial, oppressing God- given urges, some hopelessly living, while others died with a broken-heart or worse, committed suicide. Due to a lack of intimacy. "To love and be loved." is a divine norm.
