I’m often alone. I like being alone, enjoying my own space. I shut down the noise and drown myself in the ocean of silence. I like being alone. I’m used to it.
Until loneliness came.
It didn’t crush my bones with one titanic wave. Instead, it came slowly, with small and subtle waves against my feet.
It was somehow comforting, the cold water touching my feet.
But the subtle waves did not last long. The strong waves of loneliness came crashing in. Like a tsunami destroying my insides.
