Home Alone Every Day

I wish I could explain to those who haven’t experienced what it’s like to be alone when you don’t have any family at home except your trusted furry sidekick. Friends who have spouses and children at home want to do things with other friends with spouses and children. And even if that’s not necessarily their priority, they don’t think to ask the single person to join the family once in a while when they go out to dinner or some other run of the mill family activity. It’s not like those of us who are alone are going to ask the whole family to go out with us! We get that our gal pals want to spend time with their family and can’t always get away to hang out with just the girls. It would mean the world to be invited to meet your family somewhere. I am more than happy to pay my own way - I just want to be included. Yes, I should find my own person to do things with - I promise I’ve been trying to do that - but in the meantime, it is sometimes very lonely at home with my pup. And all those times I reach out asking for prayers and telling you that I’m struggling - thank you for praying for me. But how about picking up the phone and checking on me? I already feel sad - don’t make me beg for you to care enough about me to make sure I’m okay. Remember - I don’t have anyone at home to talk to. A phone call would be so appreciated. Maybe I need new friends? I don’t think so. I just think it’s a lack of awareness of what it might be like to be me. This is not a pity party, I promise. It’s an explanation of what it’s like to be alone. Thanks for listening. I hope you heard me.
