When I first read "Don't Let Me Be Lonely", it made me really depressed and I couldn't read the whole thing in one sitting. After reading the book and still having this opinion, we discussed alot of the book in class and I actually started to change my mind and unerstand a little bit more. I mean it is still a depressing book but the things she was writing down are not as much depressing anymore, they are more like blunt truthful words. Everyone will die someday, somehow, and some way. I feel like the meaning behind "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" is more than one thing in particular, it has a series of meanings. As a person who lost a person "don't let me be lonely" may mean don't leave me here all alone, as in someone you love has died and left you behind on earth. Don't let me be lonely may also mean don't let me die alone, possibly meaning someone who hasn't found love yet. Don't let me be lonely could be the person who has died and passed over into a different place telling their loved one to not let them be lonely. There are so many possible meanings behind this one phrase.

Pg. 62:
Define lonliness?
Yes.
It's what we can do for eachother.
What can we do for eachother?
What does a life mean?
Why are we here if not for eachother?

This is the one passage that stuck out in the book and kind of related to me in a sense.
I am very trustworthy, but don't give out trust myself. It is very hard for me to trust people right away. And my brother is always tellling me that if you recieve but cannot give what does your life mean? You will be lonely if you don't begin to trust. That is word the word lonliness means. Empty. Lost. No trust. Alone. Lonely.
