The lonely wear masks

Sunday Scribblings  ask if you remember on Sesame Street when they said that today's episode was brought to you by the letter M? Well, the prompt today is brought to you by whichever letter you choose!  I have chosen the letter L for lunch, loneliness and absent love.

  2. Yes, it never is a good substitute, is it? Sounds like a good lunch, though! Thanks, I enjoyed this.

  4. A sad take on the prompt. Eating alone is never an enjoyable experience.

  5. This is rather sad. I live alone and I LOVE eating by myself. Guess I'm lucky

  6. Sad in context. I can find comfort and solace in being alone. But not sure if I would feel the same if death of someone else was attached to it. Good post!

  7. I agree very sad! I too find solace in solitary moments, only because it's my choice. So much is said in only a few words! Excellent!

  12. Sad, lonely, for sure, but wow, great writing! The darkness of the photo added nicely to the overall effect.
