I believe a lot of our insecurities come from how social media makes our life's look more "glamorous" than it is in reality. We get stuck in what others are doing and how "fun" their life looks. But really is their life good? It possibly could be, but very well could be a struggle for them also. When I get caught in the social media bug, I make myself sign off and occupy in a different way. If you catch yourself in the same place be STRONG and walk away!!!! Not worth being lonely over.
Some of the time it was my own fault of isolation. When I didn't feel like I was fitting into the puzzle I would retreat back to myself. For a moment it felt like I was superior of it, reality I was only hurting myself. So its definitely a choice at times. But sometimes its not a choice.
We all have seasons where relationships just don't work. And that's not always our choice. I've been "let go" or "abandoned." I've seen close friends have the same thing happen in their personal lives. IT HURTS. Its not easy. And the pain of this causes trust issues and issues with becoming close with people around you. You have a guard up that's higher than the Wall of China. Been there!
Reality: through my seasons of loneliness and loss I have learned a lot. I have realized the importance of my closeness to the Lord. How he is the only who can satisfy my needs, cravings, and desires. Not one person can fill those needs. Heck yah its been a struggle seeking the Lord. I haven't always been one to seek the Lord. So it is a struggle. But when I do, I know all my loneliness will be met.
Also I have realized that having a couple key people in your life is all you need. And when I look at my circle, I just think WOW!!! I am blessed. But Satan knows how to mess with my mind and take my focus off of how blessed I am and bring me to the thoughts of "loneliness." This is a lie friend!! If you can say I have 1 close friend out of your family, you are doing well!!!
If you are feeling lonely, abandoned, hurt, angry, or done with relationships, it is OKAY. Its a season. I pray that the Lord will bring that one person to walk life with you. You are worth more than being lonely.
To say the least I have very few close relationships but I am blown away with how amazing the Lord has been faithful to give me what I need. Here are a couple friends that we have stuck by one another through loss, break ups, addiction, struggles, flat out HARD TIMES. These friends are hard to come by but they are out there! I know I am loved right where I am. Judgement free zone. Find those friends, be that friend.
"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird,
and when we find someones weirdness is
compatible with ours, we join up with them
and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
Yup, I learned about a selfie stick last night...I took at least 50..maybe 100..Megan wanted to take it AWAY!!!
One who has not left my side and has come to my rescue MORE than once. More than I can count.
These are just examples of REAL friends. REAL sisters. REAL love. Its out there. Sometimes we have to go through lonely, crappy times to have these friends. But don't grow weary. It will happen for you. Be a REAL friend to have a REAL friend.
Never Give UP!
