Here, in the city, people are afraid to be alone. To them, aloneness is an affliction that resides in the weak, in the unloved, in the unwanted.

Aloneness sees the magic in being by one’s self and craves it for it nourishes the soul but loneliness turns from it and...

“Maybe there isn’t any such thing as good friends or bad friends, maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and help you feel not so lonely. maybe they are always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for, maybe worth dying for too, if that’s what has to be. no good friends, no bad friends, only people you want, need to be with you,...

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one i’ve been waiting for my whole life
