one thing that I've learnt from the recent experiences in life is, no matter how many people we surround ourselves with, end of the day, alone is what we have. tell someone you're going through something, they'll give you sympathy, they'll give you hope but momentarily only because you tell them about it. but that's it. nobody will bother to ask you how you're holding up, or how you're doing. end of the day you'll find yourself telling yourself that everything will be okay. you'll find yourself trying to distract yourself from the pain in life just to pass by each day. no one will bother to come by and spend time with you to make you feel better. you'll find yourself alone. so alone that even in the midst of everyone you'll have no one to talk to. no one to speak your heart out. so alone that eventually you'll find solace within yourself. you'll be all alone and alone will protect you.
