Here we go.
Hello, humans!
I'm playing with this really cool marble run.
Sometimes I like to do things like this when I'm by myself.
Check this out.
I have so many things I like to do when I'm alone, but sometimes I do miss having other people around.
Check out this hat.
My friend left it for me when he moved away and I'm so glad he left it.
It reminds me of him, but it also makes me feel sad.
I miss having my friend around.
I wrote a song to help me remember that even when I'm feeling lonely, I'm not alone.
Youre not alone in feeling lonely.
You're not the only one, its true.
Every mother, daughter, father, son.
They've all felt lonely too.
Sometimes Im peanut butter without any jelly.
Sometimes Im macaroni with no cheese.
Sometimes I'm just one lonely french fry.
Singing pass the ketchup please!
You're not alone in feeling lonely.
You're not the only one, its true.
Every mother, daughter, father, son.
They've all felt lonely too.
When you feeling all alone, you're not on your own.
Your loved ones are thinking of you.
But sometimes all it takes.
Listen.
Make no mistake.
Just ask someone to play with you.
Youre alone in feeling lonely.
You're not the only one, its true.
Every mother, every daughter, every father, every son.
They've all felt lonely.
You're not the only.
They've all felt lonely.
No, you're not the only one.
They've all felt lonely too.
[Music playing] Sometimes we want to be alone.
And sometimes we want company.
And there's a time and a place for both.
When you feel lonely, you can remember that there are so many people who care about you.
If you want to, you can close your eyes and put your hand on your heart and think about the people that love you and how it feels to be with them.
It could be a grandparent, a parent, a teacher, a friend.
And just like you, think about the people you love when you're lonely.
They're thinking about you too.
And no matter how you're feeling, I want you to remember this.
You, my friend, are awesome.
Bye for now.
