Loneliness

I was just laying in bed watching a film which isn't exactly something strange for me but I started thinking about loneliness. Not long ago I got into a pretty amazing relationship, which is why loneliness as an emotion popped into mind. Now two/three months ago when watching a film like this I'd of felt extremely lonely. I wouldn't say that I'm lonely at all, I'd say I was really happy, happy and in love. Now my question is this, does loneliness ever really go or does the emotion just change to longing and missing someone? Are we all just missing someone, whether it be someone in particular or not? I definitely miss him right now especially in that romantic moment of that film. It previously would of been loneliness but now I feel a different emotion, but is it the same emotion.

Shared viewing experience

Tonight while watching tele with my parents it dawned on me just how important shared viewing experiences are. Every Sunday me and my parents gather together and watch Strictly Come Dancing from Saturday night before the results show. We all sit there getting frustrated when our favourite dancers don't do as well as we want, or don't get the marks we want. Sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't but what it does mean is we all sit there passionately watching and usually having some kind of debate about why one is better than another. I look forward to these Sunday viewings more than you can imagine, because it is something that we share together. Silly programmes that we can have such different views on, debate but enjoy so immensely, help us grow and bond as a family. These shared viewing experiences are important, yesterday we watched the new Hunger Games, today we've discussed it multiple times, the bits we liked, loathed, loved and disliked. Watching films and programmes together is so much more than sitting in front of the television; its about having an inside joke from a film or an opinion about the story line to discuss later.

Why not

I've thrown around the idea of writing some form of a blog before and I've decided to go ahead. I figure no one needs to read it or even know its here but it might be fun to write some of my random thoughts and ramblings down.

So a bit about me, I'm 22, I graduated just over a month ago from University with a BA Honours degree in Film Studies. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with Psoratic Arthritis, its a less known form of arthritis. I hope to become a teacher so I can help others the way I was helped.
