LENS-ARTISTS CHALLENGE #238 – Alone Time

(Leya leads.)

Hmmm. Deeply insightful theme this week. As Despair.Com says about Loneliness: “If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you’re not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.”

Alone, so alone. Thankfully.

(CHEERUP! It’s ok to be alone.)
