In Japanese, āloveā ā ę (koi) ā used to be written with the characters for ālonely sadnessā, or å¤ę². However, the meaning was actually translated as ālonging for someone in solitudeā.
āThe Garden of Wordsā ā both film and graphic novel ā depicts this perfectly. (In some sense, so does āA Silent Voiceā)
Companionship is a persistent essentiality, it seemsā¦
ā¦but even people who prefer to be alone feel such needs. (Iām not sure how voluntarily they feel or act on such needs, however.)
As a loner myself, I feel the ache persistently, but I also know that socializing is difficult ā confusing, traumatic, even ā for a person with my level of knowledge, who suffers with hesitation over the casual everyday contact that everyone else goes through so effortlessly.
This is one of the reasons motorcyclists ride, often using their mounts as inanimate pets.
Iām a loner together with you and youāre a loner together with me. Since Iām a loner and youāre a loner, together we should be even more a loner.
This is my husband and me. Weāre both loners who enjoy each otherās company, but also give one another lots of space when one or the other needs it. It has worked very well for us.
I donāt know who originally had the idea that in a great relationship you be together doing nothing and be content ā but it has been true for me. Sometimes I just need the down time. Real down time to let my brain, body and soul rest. Having a wife who understands that and will tuck in with me with a good book or something is as lucky as I think I will ever get.
