loneliness is an illusion,
it isn't caused by the absence of people
but rather
the disjointed pieces within ourselves,
the piece that wants to create but doesn't,
the piece that wants to rebel but feels like it can't,
the piece that wants a relationship but is scared
of commitment,
the piece that grew up with a traumatic childhood
and wants to cut itself off from all past experiences,
these fragments within us
are the source of our loneliness,
it is not that we feel like we don't have someone,
it is that we feel like we don't even have
ourselves
