When loneliness comes knocking at your door, remember that you are not alone in feeling lonely.

Relationships can be lonely.
A lack of communication.
Michal Pechardo
Feeling unheard, unseen.
Perhaps it arises out of the fear of sharing the truth of who you are with your partner.
Perhaps it creeps up on you because, honestly, you dont know who you are.
Perhaps you feel so numb that you struggle to feel connected.
Perhaps the lies that depression tells you make you feel unworthy of connection.
Much like depression, anxiety can starve you of the connection you crave.
The noise in your head is so loud that nothing else can penetrate it.
Solitude is just an arbitrary state that can sometimes bring about these things that feed loneliness.
It is not the primary ingredient, nor does it even have to be an ingredient at all.
Right now, many of us will be feeling lonely.
More than disembodied voices through tinny laptop speakers.
I have felt it myself.
This is just a part of being human.
You are not failing in your solitude if you feel this way.
Many feel lonely even though they are isolated with others.
All experiences of loneliness are valid.
When loneliness comes knocking at your door, remember that you are not alone in feeling lonely.
The beauty of being human is that we share in emotions.
Whatever you are feeling, someone else is feeling it too, right this very second.
Perhaps we can also take comfort in the fact that feelings are temporary.
No feeling lasts forever.
