This writing of loneliness speaks to me. At times I cover my ears to the loudness. Other times I listen quietly. Thanks for this article Paisley.

you’re so right about loneliness being loud at times, and quiet in others!

I am literally in two separate convos right now about my feelings of loneliness. This is so eerily timely. I almost never (to date anyway) attempt to spin the block or beg for someone to stay.

Standing on business is challenging. It makes me feel so many things, but in the end, I’m proud of myself for choosing me and knowing my worth (though I simultaneously feel so low and like “when is it going to be my turn?”

what i’ve learned is that spinning the block feels “safe” most of the time and comfortable all of the time, but at what expense? old habits die hard. i’m proud of you for choosing you, too.
