Just another thought on lonliness:* V  b4 G3 I7 d, r5 C7 X
Lonliness is not the feeling at your first day of school/work/new life in another country. It's normal to be alone in those circumstances. Loliness is the realization that you're indeed alone after spending years w/ your friends, co-workers, peers, and family members. That's sad.
