Suggestions welcome

I don't know if anyone actually reads this journal. Don't worry, I'm not offended if you don't - I don't write very regularly, and I write more or less for the love of writing. I wanted to ask everyone something - how do you all cope with loneliness? I'm sitting in my apartment alone in Detmold during a time period when not much of anyone is here (before the school year), and loneliness is something that I am not too familiar with. However, when it rains, it pours. I think writing here is certainly helping. Maybe some chocolate, too. Hmm.
