I feel so empty and lonely

You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. And sometimes we think one person will come along and fill that void. But that's often not the case and is a big misconception. Once the newness of a relationship wears off, you can go back to feeling lonely. The one person who really can fill that void is you. There is so much in this life to see, experience, and learn. It really can be a wonderful adventure once you befriend yourself :)
