Mine is not being able to see the road clearly even with headlights on.

It was a slow drive into utter loneliness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though of course it was only the transient feeling of this journey, I did think there are far too many people for whom this describes their lives and it must be a difficult transition from the chaos of the many to the sparse wilderness of being alone.
