LONELINESS

Ah how karmic this is. I just told someone who has been pursuing me for 8 months that they need to move on with life, that happiness is to be found within one's self and that they shouldn't be dependent on other people for satisfaction (in much more delicate words). Now I find myself recently deeply struck by the amazing beauty and grace of this gorgeous and funny and happy French girl. Now the loneliness I've been living with for a year and a half hurts so much more and I find myself always thinking about this girl, counting down the days when I feel it will be appropriate for me to call her again, or to stop by for a surprise visit with a CD or some tea, asking her room mates to gather info on whether she has feelings for me as I do for her, or if she's been seeing anyone else. It's awful! Out of nowhere, I find I'm afflicted with an addiction to another person and I can't get my mind off of it. Not yoga, nor music, nor studies, nor even the internet deters my one track mind! How do I make the incessant noise of loneliness and longing cease??

Buddhists have been working on that one for thousands of years:

Why did you send this girl on her way anyway? There must have been a reason.

Edit: I thought I had something to contribute, but I don't really... Best of luck.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

the girl i sent on her way i am not interested in. it's a different girl for whom ive fallen. but all that the girl i rejected mustve gone through i now fully understand.
i will make it through. the musings of richard alpert (be here now) have helped me center myself.

Just go after her man, IMO. It seems like you're waiting for your life to be perfect before you do so, or something. F that, it's good enough, just take advantage of this great opportunity.

because the grass is always greener on the other side. duh
or to put it in better terms - why be content with the present when you can yearn for the future?! the present is highly overrated

Friendship, Comradery, Romance, and Intimacy are not cures for Loneliness. Loneliness is a part of our experience.
