Surrounded by the vibrant chaos they are alone. Patiently waiting for loneliness's exposure to be blanketed by solitude's comfort.
How often do we feel alone in life's loudest moments? The crowded room is full of noise and chatter yet we hear nothing but the ache pounding in our chest.
To be seen, understood, and held.
One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn is finding comfort in solitude and not seeing it as punishment.
To learn how to love myself so deeply that even if I'm the only one around, I can see, understand, and hold myself.
