L for..?

Just when everything seems to be going right,there needs to be somebody who throws a spanner in my work.I am a chronic worrier and I need just a spark to trigger a round of worrying and thinking useless stuff.I have written on similar lines in my previous posts but I just can't help myself.Yesterday I found myself in a dilemma in which I, who have been for years, the agony aunt to all my friends,their siblings et al could not counsel somebody who is the most important person in my life-my sister.I was speechless because I have been faced with the dilemma since the day I arrived here-loneliness.Do we have a cure for this?Why does one feel left out in this land of opportunities?Is getting an education,making a career worth it if one has to undergo hardships in the form of psychological pressures?The answers sadly are never in black and white.I am slowly being forced to accept a state of loneliness which I don't quite enjoy but will have to endure.What is it with man and material pursuits?I suppose people mistake this loneliness for homesickness.But I think it is more of somebody to talk to about the pressures of the day, the happier times and so on. I remnicise about my home but I can live without it.The main definition given for loneliness is "without companions". Doesn't it sum up all I am trying to say?
Release me from bondage
Free my shackles
Relieve my mind
For I am scared of being locked inside
