"Loneliness is the emptiest, selfish feeling."
It wasn't like she was locked up in the nuthouse, but god damn it, she did feel like it.
It wasn't like she was forced to listen to the silence, but god damn it, the noises might as well be silence.
It wasn't like she didn't have friends, but god damn it, at the moment, it felt like it didn't matter that she did.
It wasn't like she didn't try to make plans, but god damn it, sometimes it just seemed useless to try to catch someone's interest like rolling strands of her hair between her trembling, impatient fingers.
It wasn't like she didn't love anybody, but god damn it, it seemed like such a desperate, weak feeling when at the back of her mind, she knew that she should be grateful.
It wasn't like she had nobody, but god damn it, sometimes it tired her out to always be the one to initiate something.
It wasn't like she was indifferent, but god damn it, sometimes it just seemed easier to give in to something that didn't demand effort because not caring came too easy.
It wasn't like she didn't want to change, but god damn it, sometimes the feeling of in the end being alone was a frequent visiting leech.
It wasn't like she couldn't just ask to have company, but god damn it, just knowing that she was high maintenance was something she absolutely detested.
It wasn't like she hated herself, but god damn it, she didn't like herself either.
It wasn't like she was simple, but god damn it, how frantically she yearned her life to be.
But it didn't make a single difference because in the end, she was still doing what she did everyday. Sitting out on the curb, pretending that she just wanted fresh air and really just waiting for someone to join her because she hated being alone.
