Owner of a Lonely Heart

Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a simple question: they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals. As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients' needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and families. Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that.
Grey's Anatomy, Season 2, Episode 11

it is not only applicable to the doctors, but also to the people who makes other people's life or their work more important than themselves.

but for people who always make themselves important (selfish perhaps?lol), all they want to do is unlonely themselves. by choosing a partner. and sometimes they don't even love their partner. yes, the idea of spinster and being alone for the rest of your life freaks many people. seriously. so they choose to get married to get rid of the loneliness. but how long can it last? 6 years? or 6 months?

at the age of 23, i always receive complains from my friends, how desperate and misery their single life is, how in love they are, how they feel insecure about their significant others, and how they already bored with their partners. and i bet for another 10 years, they will complain, how boring their partner will be, how too much children they have, how lack of money they are, and how to get a divorce.

it's all started when they are afraid to be lonely.

if you ever think for a second, how lucky of you to be alone. you'll have more time for your family, friends, yourselves, pets, money, work-life. and the most importantly, GOD. who will you reach out to if you ever felt lonely? of course Him. and that's everything.

yes it's true, "YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE", as the liverpool anthem says. God is always there for you, if you had no one. and yes, I am always there for my friends, single or not single, though they won't be there for me when they have their very own "the ones" and whatsoever..hahaha.

and please, don't search for a partner because you are afraid to be alone. you'll die alone eventually. let it comes naturally my friends.
