May
Even inches feels too far away sometimes.
I still feel agonizingly, embarrassingly isolated.
Especially lately.
Since the beginning of summer, interaction with friends are more infrequent.
When the pain is so intense and feels endless, and time passes so very slowly.
After briefly discussing the matter with one friend, she and I declared that any and all future movie-watching together will involve cuddling of some sort.
The closeness is comforting. Calming.
I feel guilty for asking. Embarrassed. Even though I only initiate with friends I’m close enough with that I think they won’t mind.
I feel like a complete dork…
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me be a dork.
Sometimes the loneliness almost feels worse than the physical pain, because then there is nothing and no one to stop me from losing myself in it. The combination is terrifying, and it’s a daily reality for me. Communication is painful, both physically and emotionally, particularly when something falls out of balance. I lose the ability to rationally handle disappointment or loss — even if it’s just saying “good night.” But presence? Presence can make all the difference, whether or not I’ve admitted how swallowed I feel at that moment.
i’m alive to protect my mum.
and because i promised james.
otherwise i’d be long gone.
