At the moment, I think I'm feeling about as lonely as I ever have. This is primarily due to the fact I have no freedom to create new bonds with people (and all the old ones have disintegrated.)
Another reason is I recently had some feelings awakened by a woman that had been dormant for a very long time. Unfortunately, those feelings were not returned. It's not a bad thing, though, in a way I feel more alive then I have in some time, and feel more confident about the future.
