alone with detatchment.

well let me start off by saying that yes--i feel incredibly alone right now. i'm trying to become an adult here on my own at college, but it's harder than i assumed it to be for me with my unique condition. i have all of the normal burdens of a university girl and now i have to tackle my immense loneliness , too! fuck triage.

i read some Poe, "Alone," and all it did was remind me of an awesome book that i lost as a girl. Demon in my View by an Amelia Rhodes, je pense. she alludes to Poe with the title of her work. damnit, even Poe can't match my depression! i seriously read it and think that well, he was drunk at the time, so it's still better off than i am.

then i Googled "loneliness." can you believe that there is a wikiHow website? good gracious, who doesn't have a wiki now? i want one... well here is what its intelligence has to say on the subject:
Remember that we are all alone inside our heads; we are born and die alone; it's nothing special. Every person who has ever lived has been lonely. Love wouldn't exist without loneliness to inspire it. Look at your loneliness with detachment.

how fucking emo is that for you?
it goes on to suggest other things like getting off of your lazy ass and doing something like taking a walk, which i might be doing soon.

what do you think? what is an effective option to take when combating loneliness?
