I hate those memes where people share what they think a character is feeling at any given moment, so I'll spare you

[Still haven't watched episode 3 of season 3, or obviously season 4, so no spoilers in the comments please.]

The last thing I saw of Sherlock was him leaving John's wedding, so very alone. Then I heard this on Pandora the other day. And it just absolutely broke my heart. It sounds so, so lonely. And then I saw the title of the track and it broke my heart that much more. It's not from that episode, but it's not about the wedding anyway. 
Honestly, I've tried for over half an hour to figure out how to word what I'm thinking and feeling here. I'm not sure if I'm feeling like I don't have the words or if I feel like none of you would understand even if I had the words. It's both really. The best way I can answer for that, and I've been trying to not say it, is that I honestly don't think a non-INTJ would get it. But if INTJs had feelings, this would be one of them.  
Being an INTJ can make a person feel very alone.

I feel like that album cover or whatever it is just feeds into Mrs. Hudson's beliefs that either of them are gay. But sorry, not the point.

I guess there's no way to know (re: your INTJ point), since no person can ever truly see from another's perspective. But I definitely related to Sherlock at the end of that episode too. I might be better at not being alone than you on the surface because of my F (or whatever), but I have a hard time truly connecting, and here I am always alone. It is very lonely to live alone and often communicate only through typing, and not feel at work like you have anybody you really connect to or anyone who would miss you other than giving them a break while you work with their kids. And the fact that you were so certain you'd marry the one guy with the long acronym -- I could never say that with such certainty. I feel incredibly alone often. Remember that "Firefly" quote I posted once? "Mal, you don't have to die alone." "Everyone dies alone."

But sorry, I didn't mean to make this about me. I need to pray for you more -- I need to pray more. How long am I going to say these things before I actually do them? I take comfort in the beatitudes -- blessed are those who mourn, blessed are those who hunger for righteousness...

And one last thing: that was truly a perfect episode. I feel like maybe I should've just stopped there. ;)

I'm glad you used alone and lonely separately. Because yes, I feel lonely sometimes, but more often I feel alone. And that's hard.

And I don't know how to describe how the title along with this music makes me feel. But I feel like I know it. Or it knows me.

Again - feelings aren't my strong suit, and words describing feelings generally make me want to gag. So that's the best I've got. ;)

Haha, I was thinking my comment was very overly dramatic and feel-y. Sorry about that. I may have been feeling sorry for myself that day.

interesting. the piece was for john, not sherlock. that blows that idea. we intjs really do think everything's about us, don't we. ;)
