the definition of lonely is always paired with the emotion of sadness; even dictionary.com defines loneliness as "affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone; lonesome." But i would beg to differ.
Just because someone is alone doesnt mean that they are sad, there are even times in life that i'm sure you would prefer to be alone. example? reading, sleeping, showering, masturbation, must i continue? But looking past that i find myself prefering my company over other's. Sure i have been labeled concieted but aren't you the perfect person to yourself? (if not you have some changing to do, but that's a matter that needs it's own blog). I never back talk to myself, i always agree to myself, and somehow i always know the right things to tell myself.
Don't get me wrong, i do enjoy others company, but i wouldn't say that just because i take long drives by myself that i'm lonely. My definition of lonely is being by one's self, whether your sad or not is all up to you. Now to quote the great Jimmy Eat World "It's only in your head that you feel left out."

Interesting blog, I must say! I do have some input though... Feeling lonely is an emotion, being alone is a state of being. I love being alone as well, just not lonely. You can be both, or, you can be one or the other. Now, this is the part where I too have to agree with the great Jimmy Eat World, feeling lonely really is all in your head!
