Going through life, I realise that everyone around me feels alone. Everyone feels so distant from one another. Regardless of the relationship they have with someone or how happy they feel about their life, there is always a scent of loneliness hanging around.

I feel like I have always felt alone. Since I was a kid I struggled to make friends, especially long-lasting ones. My relationships with my family have always been the most important thing for me. Feeling alone is not always a bad thing. Let’s not get that confused with feeling lonely. I love being in solely my presence. But as darkness falls, I feel the loneliness creep in too.
