Disconnected

@FluffyBakedPotato

I hear you. That kind of loneliness the kind that lingers even when you're surrounded by people is one of the hardest feelings to sit with. It’s exhausting to keep trying, to reach out, to hope for connection, only to feel that distance staring back at you. And I get it after a while, it starts to feel like, *what’s the point?*  

But the fact that you *want* connection, that you’re still trying, says something important: you still care. Even if it hurts. Even if it feels impossible right now. And that means there’s still hope, even if it’s buried under all the frustration and exhaustion.  

I won’t throw clichés at you like “it’ll get better” or “just keep trying.” Because right now, it sucks. It hurts. And you’re allowed to feel that. But I *will* say this you’re not as alone as you feel, even if your mind is telling you otherwise. Your feelings are real. You matter. And even if it takes time to find the connection you’re looking for, *you* are still worth it.
