Lonely Hearts: Part One
Getting up in the morning for me is no easy task. In fact let me describe to you just how slow it is.
1. Popping eyes open: Now this is the most difficult. You know when you have mocking sunshine spilling through your windows and it’s telling you to, ” Get out of bed, you lazy-” But yet you can’t seem to roll from underneath the sheets into your slippers. When I do pop my eyes open I see nothing but blur. So naturally I assume, sleep some more that might make the world less hazy. It doesn’t. I have no idea why I came up with that lame excuse.
2. Walking to the bathroom: Some of you are raring to start the day. Your mind is saying, in fact you might even say this out loud, “Brand new day! How I can’t wait!” I’m sure some of you might sing this like you were in a Broadway musical. Normally I stumble into the bathroom, knocking into things as I go. Being extremely lazy, I don’t bother to turn off my alarm on my phone. It keeps yelling at me,” It’s a beautiful day! And I can’t stop myself from smiling!” You are familiar with these lyrics it’s Michael Buble. I have everyone of his albums, and I have a fan t-shirt with his face on it. Don’t judge. I have a feeling I’m getting off topic. That’s usual for me, I always do that.
3. Brushing Teeth and getting dressed: Brushing teeth! How ordinary that is! How could one possibly make that interesting you might say. Well with me, it’s always a comic relief. I look in the mirror before the task and grumble at my appearance. Messy, knotty hair; extremely bad breath; and bags underneath my eyes. I grab what I think is toothpaste and spoon it on my brush. I begin brushing . . . my face puckers afterwards. I look down at my toothbrush and discover I have put Glossy Glamour Hair De-Frizzer for women. Yuck! I do it mostly every morning. Don’t you think I would move the dang De-Frizzer tube?!
Dressing is a curious phenomena. I usually put on different colored socks, forget to zip up my pants that kind of thing. I shall not go into details . . . it’s too embarrassing.
Now I have one question for you? You probably feel sorry for me don’t ya? Well you might be for a little bit. But this story is story of my lonely heart growing . . . un-lonely.
The Beginning: Duh! Duh! Duh!
After I went through my normal routine in the morning, I decided to go over to my laptop.
It’s where all my socializing took place, talking to other people not face-to face. I search the web, trying to find one thing in particular. My blog. Yes, even lonely people can create a fantastic blog. It’s called, ” Lonely Hearts Club, ” not surprising is it? It’s where one can express how lonely one is, and I am the doctor to cure the disease. Funny to say, no one knows I am also lonely.
“Ahh hah!” I mumbled to myself seeing the club name in big red and pink letters.
I clicked on it.
Welcome to Lonely Hearts Club!
Where one can talk about hard things and learn how to deal with it. If you want personal advice from a Lonely Heart therapist, just email Lindsey Barlowski at [email protected].
I scrolled down to look at the chat hangout box. Certain enough there were about twenty-five ladies and men online. Let me show you what they’re saying:
LonelyChic234: I am so lonely. Will it ever get better?
NotSoConfidentDude: Sure it will . . . eventually.
LonelyChic234: I doubt it. The only big that’s happening is my cat threw up on my new carpet yesterday.
I grimaced and could feel my stomach churning uneasily.
NotSoConfidentDude: Gross . . . TMI, LonelyChic. TMI.
LonelyChic234 : I can’t HELP my cat’s issues.
NotSoConfidentDude : Hey, do you know what the therapist’s email is? I would like to meet her someday.
This got my attention, I read attentively.
LonelyChic234 : Sure here it is- (you don’t need to see my email again) But I will warn you, she likes being incognito. She strictly says she doesn’t want not online sessions.
NotSoConfidentDude: I’ll hope for the best anyway.
I closed my laptop, stunned a little. NotSoConfidentDude wanted to meet me?

Quite amusing. But its a practical example of how to tackle loneliness by being innovative and adapt humor in life. Its great lesson to learn.
Flow is excellent, Characterization well done, closing could have been better linked and smoother finish. Overall the theme is well served. Keeps the reader all through with fun and witty words…… kranand
