alone.
April 26, 2021
I'm so lonely.
There's a void in my chest, dark, cavernous, and cold, begging to be filled with human connection, but no one is willing to get to know the real me. Or is it I who am unwilling to let someone in? I've lost track. All I know is that it's becoming unbearable. Insufferable. Painful beyond belief. People use me, then toss me aside and I allow it because I'm so desperate to be recognized.
Maybe I'm being dramatic.
But isn't everyone from time to time?

From a darker chapter. You're not alone and you never will be. There's always someone there who's done it before and that will be honored to guide you through the wood. Don't ever give up.
