Just another thought on lonliness:
( D8 |0 r! v0 X/ O: t6 ~( GLonliness is not the feeling at your first day of school/work/new life in another country. It's normal to be alone in those circumstances. Loliness is the realization that you're indeed alone after spending years w/ your friends, co-workers, peers, and family members. That's sad.
