LIFE LATELY- On loneliness and isolation.

Happy Monday. I was suppose to drop a part 2 of the Get-to-know tag but I don’t think I’m ready to do that. I know I’ve not been very active here. It’s really not my fault. If you’re reading this, I really need you to sow a seed of prayer into my life. God bless you as you do so.

Lately, I just feel disconnected from people, I feel disconnected from the real world and I really don’t know how to deal with it. One of the therapies I use when going through tough times is expressing my feelings through writing which is what I’m doing now.

This is probably the kind of stuff I should have put in a personal diary rather than on the internet but whatever. I hope one or two people will be able to relate this.

I’ve been working on a project that really took away most of my time and energy. I was just so busy that I didn’t realize that I was loosing connection with the real world and I didn’t realize that my favorite people were gradually taking a step out of my life. It was too late for me to amend things when I discovered that I’ve lost connection with people and for the first time in my life, I felt isolated. I was completely out of this world. I felt lonely.

There’s a difference between finding solitude and being lonely. In my case, I just felt lonely. I wanted to connect to people, I wanted to have fun with people, the midnight conversations and all of that but it just dawned on me that everyone has left.

I began to look inward and ask myself, “Why do my favorite people keep on leaving ?”, “Have I done anything wrong?”

But then I realized that “People won’t always stay in your life forever”. I just have to learn to enjoy the beauty of temporary relationships.

I know this is a difficult time for me but it has also made me reflect on my life, set goals and plan out my life. With time, I hope everything will get back to normal because this is just a phrase and it doesn’t last forever.

For anyone going through the same situation, stay strong and remember you’re not alone.

XOXO🖤
