It hangs out with the dust mites in your pillow. You might not want to think about dust mites in your pillows, but they are there and so are the lonelies.
Do you know how you contract the lonelies? You ask yourself "If Only"
The lonelies love If Onlys.
They love those thoughts as you can understand since you secretly love them too. The lonelies crawl into your ears as you are lying there in bed and go right into your brain. Sometimes when you contract the lonelies they can stay in your head for days buzzing so loudly that you can't hear a particularly funny story or your favorite song on the radio. They can also mess with your vision making everything seem gray. Well I'm going to tell you how to make the lonelies go away.
The best way to get rid of the lonelies is to shake them out, rattle them about. Crank up some music, blast some tunes and dance wildly around your room.
Another method that works quite well is a long hug from someone you hold dear. It's nice to have someone just hold you still for a moment and forget that the world is hurtling through space at 67,000 miles per hour. A good long hug can make you forget things like that and can shrivel up the lonelies.
This might seem strange, but the lonelies actually hate reading. It's true. Its fizzles them out inside your brain. So pick up a good book and pour yourself into it. In the words of C.S. Lewis, "We read to know that we are not alone." And we aren't. We've all stumbled across something while reading that seemed to have related to us personally and it seemed for a moment that, though the author may be long dead, they reached out a hand and shook yours. They confirmed you and what you were feeling or thinking. You are not alone.
See? The lonelies are gone!
So don't just sit in your room and mope. Try these fail proof methods and tell the lonelies to bugger off.
