When you are surrounded by people, it is odd to feel lonely.

Bodies of life are all around you, yes you still stay up late thinking about how alone you feel. How distanced, and far away, and closed off you are. 

Everybody has their person. When the teacher says you are doing partner work, everybody seems to have somebody that automatically pops into their mind. But you feel as if your name wouldn't come to mind. Nobody would think about you, nobody would choose you.

You feel alone. There is a pit growing in your stomach. An everlasting feeling of despair and no number of friends or family will ever close it. Nothing will make it better. 

So, even with people all around you, these bodies of life surrounding you, you are still alone. This is not their fault. It is not their fault you are their second pick. It is yours, and only yours. The only way to cure yourself is to learn that you will do just fine on your own. You don't need to rely on other people to determine yourself worth. You don't even need other people to love you. All you need is to love yourself, as that is the only thing that is truly important.
