I Cried Today

I cried today for the first time in years. "Nights" by Frank Ocean was playing and I started thinking about how alone I really am in this huge world. 

Now, don't get me wrong, these thoughts are nothing new to me but they hit 100x harder this time. Why? cos I was not thinking about just me this time. What if there are others like me? 

Loneliness that emanates from the fact that you are constantly being misunderstood so you'd rather stay away to avoid further complications. Loneliness that comes from the fact that you genuinely feel out of place in a place you're supposed to call home. Loneliness that transcends beyond isolation and depression into a reluctance for expression.

Now some food for thought.
