The "l" word behind the closed doors

If you take a look at certain pages on social media, if you pay attention to conversations with others and if you take a good look inside you, you'll probably find a common factor, a feeling. Or is it a word, an idea? Well it certainly has to do with feelings.
It's what you feel when you lay down on your bed late at night, the lack of communication with other people,  or all the thoughts that burst into your mind when you listen to "Lonely Day", by System of a Down (it hits you from the first cords of the song, usually).
It's that feeling that sometimes you can't put it into words or it gets so heavy, creating a hole inside you and making the empty space next to you on the bed or the silence inside your house seem worse than they really are. (There are times that you can feel lonely even when you're around other people,  but that's a story for another post.)
Loneliness is a very bad feeling. It makes you feel empty. And it doesn't only happen when there's no romantic interest in your life; it happens when you don't have someone next to you to talk to and keep company to each other.
And the truth is that every time I read a story or listen to a song about it, I always think that..."hey, if we all feel so lonely sometimes, why don't we find a way to get closer to others?".
Because loneliness can seem bad, but the good thing is that it's a solvable matter. 
So, next time that we feel lonely,  why don't we call someone to talk to, make plans to be around people and meet new ones, or do one of the simplest things in the word: express it!
