Tulelake, CA— It is not as lonely as some seem to think
When you live alone you have no one to fight or argue with and if you want to make a bunch of noise, you don’t have to answer to anyone, except your neighbors if you are too loud. Other than that, there is no one to tell you to be quiet or if you want piece and quiet you have no one to tell to be quiet.
If you have goals that you are working on, like I do, there is no time to be bored. Restless, sometimes, that is when I take a walk. I don’t care what time of day it is either. If I need a walk to take a break, I do. In walking it gives you time to think or think about other things you are working on. For me sometimes when I am walking is when I get answers or figure out things that are bothering me, plus I lose weight at the same time. So it is a win, win situation for me. I love taking walks. I take a walk sometimes three or four times a day. Some days less, some days I take more walks.
Living alone is not so bad. I make contact with my friends in Tulelake or I go and visit them. I do not allow just anybody in my house. I am a very trusting person and trust people, but sometimes I take a chance trusting people, but that is in my nature to do it. However, I have made errors in the past I am just not going to go into the details. As I always try and help people or treat people the same way I expect them to treat me.
All of my life I spent time it seems taking care of someone else or their needs in my life. Well, it is finally time for me to stay focused on my goals of building a Media Production company from the local news, to radio, to television, to theatre, to film productions. It’s not that I minded stopping or going off the path on my life long dreams, but I have been there and done that. It is now my time, and I feel it is for me for a change. Along with the new people that are coming into my life by luck, fate or destiny, but it is my time, I just know it and feel it. Don’t ask me how I just know it. I just do.
As a person who lives by himself I am stronger and right now in the business I am in I only have to worry about me. I know it sounds selfish, but that is not how it is meant. I just don’t have time for a relationship, because with relationships, they require time spent with that person. Friendships, that is different I can have friendships with many different people of many different ages. From the elderly, to seniors like me, to younger people.
So you see I am not alone, I have lots of friends and acquaintances I just prefer to live alone and that is by choice and it is mine to do. As I am going to succeed but there is nothing saying I can’t help others to reach their dreams at the same time along the way. That is what I am planning to do. Not just talk about doing it.
I am ready now for my success and dreams to come true after a lifetime of working towards them.
I am not alone, because I have God who is with me each and everyday and has been all of my life and now I can share that knowledge and wisdom with others as He shared His with me.
As the time passes for each of us here
together in this very moment of our lives
with its ups and downs. From one day to the
next. Not knowing what tomorrow may bring for
what we have experienced in the past? And what
we hope to accomplish in the future along
this short trail we call life...
In the end we hope we have met as many people
along the way that we can love and that they
love us? Then the path was well taken for
each foot step along the way that we made
with each new passing day...
To reach the goal at the end of the road of
knowing we loved and we were loved for who we
are and not what others thought we were.
