I’ve learned that being alone and being lonely are not the same thing. Once I was surrounded by people and lonely for it, but now I’m alone and I’ve never been so content.

Melinda Salisbury
About This Quote

Loneliness is not being alone without friends or family. Loneliness is being alone with your thoughts and feelings. It is the emptiness that comes when you are alone. Loneliness can be prevented by being surrounded by people or friends or family members. Being lonely is not the same thing as being alone, loneliness is about being alone with your thoughts and feelings.
