WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO FEEL LONELY.
IT’S A HOLLOW EMPTINESS, A FEELING OF ISOLATION AND DISCONNECTION.
AND WE DON’T EVEN HAVE TO BE… BY OURSELVES TO EXPERIENCE IT.
WE CAN FEEL LONELY IN A RELATIONSHIP, IN A CROWDED ROOM, EVEN AMONG FRIENDS.
A LOT OF SUICIDAL AND DEPRESSED PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH LONELINESS
IT’S A SICK FEELING IN THE STOMACH, THAT A TUMS WON’T CURE.
IT’S AN ANXIETY THAT DOESNT GO AWAY, BUT REMAINS WITH YOU ALL THE TIME
IT’S A SHARP PAIN THAT GOES THROUGH YOU WHEN YOU HEAR AN OLD SONG OR THINK OF AN OLD MEMORY.
IT’S A SUBTLE STRESS THAT QUIETLY WEARS YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU HAVE NO ENERGY OR ENTHUSIASM.
