Have you ever felt like you're in a room full of people, yet you can't shake that strange, desolate feeling in your chest? Everyone around you is busy talking, enjoying, laughing, and having the time of their lives, but there you are, sitting in a chair or standing near a friend, feeling empty as you look around. When someone asks you to join them, your breath hitches and your lips twitch. Your mind refuses, but your heart wants to overcome this feeling and join them. You want to laugh and talk, yet you're unable to. Somehow, you manage to stay there, but after a while, you tell your friend you need to go home or that something urgent has come up. Honestly, you don't want to leave, but you can't seem to enjoy it either. That empty feeling refuses to let go, clutching your hand in a tight grip, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't break free from it.
You are lonely, not alone. There are 8 billion people in this world, yet this feeling never seems to leave you. Your friends and family have no idea what you're currently feeling, and you don't think they ever will. This loneliness seems to consume you, slowly creeping from some corner of your heart and spreading rapidly throughout your body like a deadly disease. You come home, shut the door, release a breath, and slump to the floor, feeling exhausted. Despite having your whole family in another room, there's no one to share that feeling with.
Being lonely, not alone—is it worth it? You have everyone, yet no one. Is it worth it? You don't know, and you don't want to know. I don't know, but I want to know. From you - Is it worth it?
I know you want solutions, you want to break free from this feeling, but unfortunately, I can't help you. I'm sorry. But dear stranger, there's one thing you need to know. I understand how you feel, how desperate you are to escape this feeling. They say time is a healer, but loneliness can only get worse with time. I am someone who will share this burden with you. Because only someone with the same wound can understand. And mine has turned into a scar now. I know how you feel because I once fought with it too. Maybe if you're reading this, you'll realize that not every wound heals without a trace; some turn into scars. The scar makes us more human, so don't hate it. As for the loneliness you feel, I hope you'll heal from it one day soon, just like I did. Slowly but surely.
So my readers, Are you Lonely or Alone?
