It’s so frustrating. You know when everything just piles up, and you’re angry, upset, and annoyed, but there’s no one around to give you that comfort you need? It’s like, in that moment, you’re on your own, with no one to calm you down or tell you everything’s going to be okay.

I hate it. I’m pissed off, upset, and just tired of feeling like I have no one. I don’t even have anyone to vent to right now, let alone someone who can make me feel better or remind me to breathe. It’s like I’m stuck in this cycle, and there’s just no way out.

I know there are people out there who have someone to rely on, someone who’ll help them through moments like these. And honestly? I envy them. I’m sitting here, typing this through teary eyes, just wishing for a little bit of comfort.

It’s exhausting, dealing with it all on your own, and some days, it just gets to be too much. If you’ve got someone who’s always there for you, consider yourself lucky. Some of us just have to keep going solo.
