Reaching Out

I wanna hold your hand, originally uploaded by batega.
Today I am feeling alone. Quiet. Yearning. To reach out and find someone’s hand reaching back out to me.
I find that much of my motivation in this life is connection — hand to hand and heart to heart. Whether it is through my art, ritual, meeting for drinks after work, or in my weakest days, obsessively checking LiveJournal, Facebook, and my email.
But instead, I will sit in my office and write, not about things that truly matter to my heart, but what I need communicate to keep projects at work on track. Perhaps if I can just focus enough on what needs to get done, I can drown out the other voices. At least, that’s the advice I get from my mother. Not sure how true it is for me, though.

As much as I like to put on this solitary, “I don’t need anybody”, “I *want* to be alone” facade, it’s mostly not true. Yeah, I’d rather be by myself than surrounded by shallowness and insincerity, but most days, I’d give a limb for a REAL connection.
You’re not alone.
