Loneliness is a strange thing. Too often, we feel alone in this world, yet we’re constantly surrounded by people. We could stop being lonely so easily, if we’d just reach out to anyone nearby; yet we hold on to loneliness so tightly as if we don’t want it to be taken away. And I’m not sure why that is, but maybe it’s because being lonely is easier and less painful than trusting someone to not leave us back at square one.
