Loneliness. The thought of going nowhere and everywhere all at once. Where to go first, who to talk to first, who to see first. They are so many choices. How does one become lonely? Loneliness comes at you like a bear to honey. It comes and it sticks till it sucks everything out of you. What can you take out of your loneliness? Who is to say exactly what it is. I was born a fraternal twin but my brother died at birth. People tell me that I'm supposed to feel lonely for the rest of my life, like some part of me died with him. I can’t tell the difference. I guess I would only know if I had lived with my brother and then lost him. How are you supposed to know what you lost if you never had it.

There are so many different stages of loneliness. This man looks like he is searching for something, what I'm not sure. It seems like he is willing to give up everything on his back to find it. Where will be go to find what he is looking for? Is it a person, a calling or a way of life? Where do you start. He is taking everything he owns with him for he knows he may never come back. Sometimes when I get lost in thought I feel like I should just pick up and go…. Find my true calling, find exactly where I'm supposed to be. How do I know that I am destined to live in Washington state for the rest of my life. How do I know that I am destined to be a criminal prosecuting attorney. How do I know I'm not meant for something completely different. Where do you start looking for these answers?
