distance
stay away for instance
keeping myself in my radius
leading life so tedious

i'm confident being independent

sleepy eyes glued on screen excited
another day she spent awake
they say another day alienated

oh dear
that one sentence grabbed all her attention
the word she's been yearning all year
while longing for companion

In fact, what she needed was not less social connection, but connection that felt more meaningful.
(Cacioppo & Patrick, 2009)

Maybe we would all be better if we face ourselves head-on. Yes, ourselves. No bigger obstacle than dealing with something you call 'myself'. No bigger energy wasted than to lie to someone you call 'myself'.  The hardest thing to be in touch with, in life, is your own self and all its substances. You live in a world where it's much simpler to ignore your thoughts and feelings for the sake of your emotional stability. Or so you thought. But just so you know. It...
