As the holiday season really start to kick off, all the TV shows are doing stories about how we should not be alone during this time of the year. Normally I think I would agree and try to spend it with family and friends. This year is slightly different from other years is I think I would be alone no matter where I spent it. The difference between TV and life is that loneliness is not something physical; it's a state of mind. I could be with my family and friends everyday from x-mas eve until new years and perhaps I'll still be lonely. I can also spent it with one person and not feel lonely at all. So far at least if I am alone this year it would be of my own choosing and that has its merits as well. In years pass if my g/f was always I really didn't want to spent it with anyone else so I stayed home with my dad or went to my mother which is as good as being alone for me. This might be the first year that I choose to just do what I have been saying I'll do. Take a long walk in central park, have a glass of wine, think of all the things that happen in the year and get my self something nice.
