Ti senti solo?
Ti senti solo nei termini di solitudine fisica, senza persone vicine, isolato, nascosto, privo di persone attorno a te, di conoscenze, amicizie o affetti?
Oppure ti senti solo nel senso di incomprensione, incompatibilità, mancanza di intimità, distanza emotiva, intellettuale o spirituale con chi conosci, con chi vive intorno a te?
Oppure la tua solitudine deriva dall’assenza di una persona amata, che è lontana, oppure se n’è andata o magari non c’è mai stata?
Cosa vuol dire alla fine per te essere soli?
Forse si tratta di capire prima di tutto la natura della tua solitudine, perché dal suo punto di vista essa è solo quel che ti resta.
Se manca qualcuno o qualcosa, quel che ti rimane è la mancanza di qualcuno o qualcosa.
Se non c’è la persona amata, ti resta la mancanza della persona amata, insieme alla tua solitudine, che alla fine dei conti è sempre una presenza, che ti piaccia o meno.
Allora, se questa storia ti convince anche solo un po’, puoi cercare di capire la presenza della solitudine, chi è, cosa vuole, quali sono le sue forme e i suoi confini.
La solitudine ha il suo spessore!
La tua solitudine potrebbe essere il ponte tra te e gli altri, il portale che ti consente di essere davvero insieme agli altri, di avvicinarti a loro nel modo più intimo possibile.
“Un po’ più in là della tua solitudine, c’è la persona che ami.” (Dino Buzzati)
Do you feel lonely?
Do you feel lonely in terms of physical loneliness, without people close to you, isolated, hidden, without people around you, without acquaintances, friends or affections?
Or do you feel lonely in the sense of misunderstanding, incompatibility, lack of intimacy, emotional, intellectual or spiritual distance with those you know, with those who live around you?
Or does your loneliness derive from the absence of a loved one, who is far away, or has gone away or perhaps has never been there?
What does being alone ultimately mean to you?
Perhaps it is a matter of understanding first of all the nature of your loneliness, because from its point of view it is only what is left of you.
If someone or something is missing, what is left of you is the lack of someone or something.
If the loved one is not there, you are left with the lack of the loved one, together with your loneliness, which in the end is always a presence, whether you like it or not.
So, if this story convinces you even a little, you can try to understand the presence of loneliness, who it is, what it wants, what its forms and boundaries are.
Loneliness has its own thickness!
Your loneliness could be the bridge between you and others, the portal that allows you to truly be with others, to get closer to them in the most intimate way possible.
