I Am Not Lonely

by CoolllDolly


I never knew what loneliness was.


I have a simple uni life. I have schoolmates who take meals with me, workout with me and working till the eleventh hour with me.


But why do I still find my uni life so hard to go on?


I couldn't participate in the discussions my schoolmates have at meals. I isolated myself by putting on my earphones while I worked out. I attend lectures and tutorials alone. When rushing for assignments and projects till late at night, it seems like a normal routine for all.


Maybe this isn't so called "loneliness", but indulging in the process alone. After all, there are many things that you have to experience by yourself.


But one thing that kept me together all this while is "to persist".


For the past 20 years I've survived, I often hope to have somebody whom I cam share these bittersweet moments with, but none.


Give me a stranger who would listen please.
