I just don't understand myself why I felt soo very lonely. I was sitting on the balcony looking down to the wilderness of the farm on the other side and the busy vehicles running through the highway about two hundred meter where I was setting. I was recalling the happy ,moments with my brother and sisters together with our friends playing around the big mango tree that is still gallantly standing near our ancestoral house oh.. how I missed those happy moments.

I think it is natural to feel alittle melancholy at times. We get into a sort of rut in life with all of our many responsibilities and we wish sometimes that we could go back to a happier and less stressful time in childhood. I didn't have any siblings but I do have some great memories of my childhood at my grandparents.

You have no siblings but your happy who knows it is not late for you to have one in the future. Sometimes when we are alone those beautiful memories in the past can help a lot.

Maybe you should try calling them sometime, and talking. Remembering about those old times and laughing about it together could help you out. If you live close enough you could go to dinner together or something like that. Just a meet up and a special reminder of those times could help.

We lived far from each other and everybody is already with family of their own.

from time to time, there will be moments that we remember things that make us lonely, sad, and gloomy. the memories brings many mixed emotions. the ones that truly shook us are the sad ones. the past is full of memories of this kind. the places, music, and times emerge themselves and come alive in our eyes and hearts, again.

Hi,
It was one of those late afternoon after work hours, I happen to be in an unhurried mode and as I was super-slowly walking towards home passing along the neighborhood, I noticed how things have changed. As I looked around, I noticed how things have changed so much. There was the creek where I learned to swim when I was still ten years old but has now gone too shallow for that. Then a big house stands on its bank and gone are the shady trees and bananas where I roamed during hot summer days. Gone too, was the big Santol tree I climbed when its fruits are ripened with that favorite branch I used as a hideaway during our hide and seek games.
Like you, I too feel that nostalgia of things gone and shall never come back, I long for the time with my childhood friends when there was not a care in the world but the next mealtime and the next toy to play. It really hits us sometimes, these nostalgic moments, makes us kind of lonely remembering them.

I am sorry you feel lonely, there are times this happens to us, when we are by our selves, we want to be around some one, and want some one to talk to, I like being by myself, it gives me time to think, about all the good times, I have with my family, and most of the time I like being by myself.

I just don't know why? in one of my property I planted a mango tree hoping that someday my daughters can experience what I've enjoyed in the passed. The mango tree is now bearing fruits but I have never seen my daughters played on that mango tree nor they bothered to visit the property I bought for them.

I feel lonely most of the time, as I am not in my country and here I have no friend and my husband also is not kind, but sometimes I just wish and miss my childhood, and the time before my marriage that how happy and smiley girl I was... thinking about that make me feel if am I still alive or where that girl has gone? I wish to be happy again in my life...

Oh, I sometimes feel lonely too. I try to think of good, happy memories. After commemorating, I'll be happy again and I look forward meeting my loved ones or friends again. I tell myself that loneliness won't do me any good. Cheer up. Be happy. Life is too short to waste. I hope you'll be with your brothers, sisters and your friends in the future. Happy mylotting!

Your memories will certainly make you lonely, especially when you're remembering those kinds of experiences. You can avoid these by focusing on what you have right now and being with the people that you care about.

I guess we all go through this phase. We just tend to think of our childhood and remember how simple life was and that we only care for the simplest things in life. Those were the days......wonderful memories we will forever cherish.

You must be missing your brothers and sisters and also the days that are gone for ever.I too have experienced such painful memories.Often I miss my parents who loved me so much.The memory of the days flashes across my mind,especially when I am alone.Often I think about my town that has undergone a sea change during the last decade.The town in which I spent my childhood was a little bigger than a village and there were no traffic jams and malls as they are now here.We would then see only bullock carts on the road.All that was so peaceful,so calm.I miss them and begin feeling lonely.

I think everyone have the good times experiences, and there's nothing wrong to remember the good moments in your life. It doesn't mean to come back to the past, but you can take the energy of your spirit, your dream of yesterday, to thankful for the blessings that you have got until today.

why do you miss your brother and sisters? Can you call them now and have a little picnic under that mango tree.

Hi I think we all get like this from time to time, You are missing your family if you have friends near by meet up with them for a coffee, or if you have a hobby this has always helped me. It is not a nice feeling to feel lonely. I remember many years ago I was a live in Nanny I was young but I was about an hour drive away from my parents home I was 18 years old at the time. So this one night I was homesick for my parents and I had one of those Bibles in my room (The new testament) and inside it had said where to find help when, I read the passage for lonely and I will always remember this for as long as I live, I did not know a soul and after I had finished reading the family was gone with the kids so I was in this big by myself and the doorbell rang I went up and there was the crossing guard I seen every morning to take the kids to school and she had invited me over for coffee and introduced herself turns out she lived right across the street. From then on my life had changed so for me when ever I am in any situation I always read my Bible.

I think you can try to get some good friends. Most probably friends will help you feel better. You can try to get some online friends and chat with them. There are lots of social sites to keep us busy like Facebook, orkut, etc. Best of luck. Also try to contact your old classmates and friends.

Well I think you are just missing those happy times that you are with them...maybe you have grown old already that those things are already part of your memories...but anyways, you can still call them and relieve those happy moments that you have shared with them during your younger years.

I think these are nostalgic moments that every normal person experiences, it could make you lonely, happy, etc... but it's always associated with the past, I'm not sure but it could be some kind of mind or emotional mechanism, again i am not sure but one thing is sure it has a purpose.

growing up is hard and times change i remember playing with my friends down the local park we could play their hours, we would play football and all dreamed that we would become pro footballers. But times change it can be a lonely world so its important to surrond yourself with lots of loving people.

Hi,
In olden days big houses were built for living together with the family. but now a day due to job children have to leave ancestral house. You remember the time spent with your brother, sister and friend under the mango tree. Those days must be happy days for you. Now you are alone in that house and there is no one to talk to you. So are feeling lonely.

That's probably it, you just miss them. And you are just reminiscing all the good memories gone by. Give them a visit, or give them a call. Invite them over for the weekend, celebrate something even tough there's no real occasion to celebrate, just by being together.
