The River Isnโt Finished Flowing Yet
After loss, loneliness, and disappointment, it's easy to measure life by failures. This personal reflection explores why our worth is not determined by what we've lost, but by the love we've given, the lives we've touched, and the faith that keeps us moving forward.https://polymathchristian.wordpress.com/2026/06/04/the-river-isnt-finished-flowing-yet/

I guess the key is to keep yourself occupied. Don't think about loneliness, or that you're lonely at all, cos you'll definitely feel that way.
Distract yourself by doing something else and don't think too much about it.
If you've accepted this is your fate, it gets easier but I don't think it's a healthy mindset. Only those who really think and feel they can handle themselves can do it. Like if you think you work better alone, you know what you want and need when solving problems and you have years to prove you can solve your own shit.
While the argument that loneliness has a detrimental impact on health & well-being is well made, the Q. is whether this should then be the responsibility of the NHS to address?
While I agree that society *does* need to do more about loneliness, this seems me to be an issue for other agencies not to be added to an overstretched health service.
(Many may suspect that this is one more social harm that is caused by the expansion of social media use?)

Men and Women Should Be Optimists About Love, Not Heteropessimists
Oh geez, why does it feel like gravity doubled this morning? Oww.
Why did I have such titillating and controversial dreams last night!? I can't possibly pick it apart with my partner. WTF does it mean? :/
Ugh. Out of my fav deodorant, and this back up one is shit. Fuck Lume, it smells rank. Omg, I don't smell like myself. Guess I have to fork it over again for tiny amounts of tolerable deodorant.
Fuck, my sodium intake is really effecting my BP, maybe that's why I feel like shit? Omg am I one of those olds that has to eat carefully now, austere in diet? Fuck!
Bridge toll $8.50, criminal.
Ugh. I smell like someone else. Ew.
Damn I'm tired, thirsty, lonely...
Man,I used to be able to get a cappuccino, and a pastry for less than five bucks. Fuck I really want to stop for coffee and some moral support. Can't, that will up my sodium levels and cost more than the bridge toll. Boo.
Thank god I have a few minutes before work, public facing. I'm not dead or dying. I will survive. I do like people, I swear, I am a good person! Right?
