I don’t know why we’re all so alone. Maybe it is because we look for connection through taps on a phone screen. We base our relationships on beauty and numbers, rather than on the number of times someone made us feel something beautiful. Maybe it is because we are all so stimulated, so distracted, so tuned in and yet so disconnected. Maybe it is because we don’t have to truly feel our feelings anymore, we don’t have to work on ourselves — we are a generation that has learned how to perfectly numb the pain with whatever it is that makes us forget it for a moment in time. We don’t allow ourselves to face our hearts, or our hurts anymore. We don’t allow ourselves to confront our voids. We just fill them with drugs, or alcohol, or sex, or the validation we receive from people we don’t even know online. We just run from our loneliness, and in turn, we end up even lonelier than we were when we started. In turn, we end up more lost than ever. don’t know why we’re all so alone.
