thanks for sharing that. it's perfectly natural to feel the way you do after a break-up. my take is that loneliness is always there, but it's just more apparent when that other person is gone. so it has to be dealt with no matter what. the self-help guru Don Miguel Ruiz says you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else. so i think you're on the right track. stay active. keep singing. then somebody new will come along.
