"I can't feel me— myself anymore. It's like she snuffed it out. Ripped me from it. She, and Cairn, and everything they did to me." She gulped down air, and Rowan wrapped her in his arms and pulled her onto his lap. "I am so tired," she wept. "I am so, so tired, Rowan."

The social media glamorization of loneliness is one of the most dystopian and bizarre trends I've seen in a while.

What people fail to realize is that this current Western way of living alone is not normal. Our species did not evolve to live in isolation. We are tribal by nature, meant to belong to and thrive within a community. The West is one of the few outlier societies where this isolation is not only expected but also normalized.

Many people have decided that instead of working toward building communities to address loneliness, they would rather romanticize their solitude. It's a coping mechanism, and a very sad one at that. This seems to be especially prevalent among young women.

Yes, it is important to be comfortable in your own skin and capable of standing on your own when your environment doesn't align with you. Yes, it's important to have a sense of agency and enjoy your own company without feeling dependent on others. However, what's not healthy is to succumb to isolation and stop trying to build strong bonds with people because you've become too comfortable being by yourself.

Many have confused introversion with anti-social behavior. If you continue down this path, you will have nobody else to blame when your life is devoid of love and companionship in the long run.

we have but one life.

why would you read "classical literature" and "philosophy" and "actual books published by world renowned authors" when you can read dramione smut written by a redbull fuelled college student at 3 in the morning

when franz kafka wrote “i cannot make you understand. i cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me” and when sylvia plath wrote “can you understand? someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little?”

I hate how no one ever talks about how it is like to lose a friend.

And I’m not talking about a friend passing away, I’m talking about actually finishing a friendship.

No one ever tells you how tough it is to go everyday without having someone to talk to or someone to help you with your own mind.

No one ever tells you how hard it is to stay awake all night crying thinking about what have you done wrong to them even if you were the one who finished the friendship.

No one tells you how hard it is to go on with your life without the person who was there for you always knowing they exist in the same world that you do.

Knowing that they probably moved on… that they have friends and that there’s a possibility that you are the only one having this kind of thoughts.

But also not having your friend to ease your concerns and tell you that everything will be alright.

No one ever tells you how hard it is to lose a friend.

losing a friend is knowing a stranger's face, a stranger's favourite colour, and a stranger's deepest secrets. But they will not smile at the sight of you. You brush shoulders with someone who has seen you broken and breaking. You brush shoulders with a stranger and know they don't miss you too.

losing a friend

[heartofmuse]

You may love a person a lot, but in the end that love is about you. It's about you in the sense that you get to decide what to do with it, to voice it or stay silent, to act upon it or keep it like a dream in your heart, to embrace it or walk away. Every day and every moment is a choice because we both change every day. Love is not a thing set in stone and people tend to forget that. If you love today and are loved in return just live it to the max and be grateful you have today.
