~Void~


Ever felt lonely standing in the middle of the crowd? Ever felt like you are surrounded but no one is listening... or worse, that no one cares, no one knows who you are, how you feel, how you think? The deep void of loneliness smothers you. I have a large number of teens in mind as I write, who are going through this phase of their lives... looking for attention, affection, love n care; be it Real or Virtual. The longing of being someone 'special', being looked after and pampered arises in everybody's heart, mind and soul. The generation of this era is facing this quite often who join social networking sites to find people. The problem is that now they find themselves lonely not only in their actual world but in their virtual world too.

Void of human contact. Void of interaction...

I've been there. I've been in a place in my life when the yearning for a hug can be so overwhelming that your breath catches.

Real... intimate... something... anything...

It is during this hour when one needs the strength, the strength to face the storm with your feet firm on ground and the strength of character to overcome the tides of passion.
