there's a reason we feel
lonely even though we're not
alone; It's because
loneliness is not about how
many friends we have or
how many people there are
in the room with us. it's a
disconnection from other
human beings. being social
doesn't cure loneliness;
many people socialize when
they don't really feel like
it just to keep up
appearances. We all have
layers and we all pretend
we're okay when we're not,
but loneliness comes when
there is not a single person
close enough to see past
those illusions to who we
really are and what
we're really feeling inside.
