Cope When Alone

You never know alone until you are sitting in a dark room, with Pandora's Relaxation Radio playing and no one hitting up your phone. And maybe at a computer desk, typing your life away.

Is that really being alone though?

Everyone can have their own way of viewing being alone. One can escape to social media and still claim they are alone, or be socially active around campus and still claim alone.

Or are all these examples simply ways of coping with loneliness?

I have no answer, just a thought that came to mind.
