Loneliness can be a relentless companion, casting shadows over our hearts and minds. But amid the darkness, remember that loneliness can also be a teacher. It teaches us to appreciate the value of genuine connection, to seek out kindred spirits who ignite our souls, and to cultivate a deep sense of empathy and compassion for others who may also be grappling with their own feelings of isolation.
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life’s cruelest irony.
Loneliness is not a reality, it’s just a feeling. Convert it to SOLITUDE.
Please.
Do not ask us who we are.
