Loneliness

Hello my dear friend,

I hope you are doing well and everything goes as planned. We live in this big world full of people and distractions, yet we have still space to feel lonely. Why? I wish I knew too.

But hey, you aren't really alone. I bet there are so many people who care about you. Maybe you don't see them now, but they are there for you. And so am I. We all want to feel included and belong somewhere, but how do we know where, if we don't know who we are? It is so confusing, even though it looks easy. Just hang out with someone, right?

But what if I feel lonely in class full of people? This feeling of being left alone hits even harder. You look around and everyone seems to be happy and included. Everyone, except you. But do you know who is with you and by your side all the time? You.

Yes, you have this beautiful world inside yourself, one, that no one can take away from you. Your dreams, goals and wishes. If you work hard enough and follow them, they will eventually come true. You, standing alone, just the way you are is more than enough. You have the ability to talk to anyone you desire and if they aren't your kind of people, you can move on and try it with someone else.

If being with people is not your cup of tea, for whatever reason, you can still learn how to be alone without actually feeling lonely or have need to be constantly with someone. And if they enjoy, by any case, seeing you struggling alone, nothing would make them angrier than you shining bright, confident, pursuing your dreams, smiling to their face. I'm sure you wouldn't feel lonely in this scenario. Is it hard? Well, there is no better way to find it out, than try it yourself!

Thank you so much for reading and I wish you all the best.

- Love, Lumexia
