Lonely In A World Isolated By Myself

Have you ever felt so lonely but knew it was all on you?

Lonely In A World Isolated By Myself
Gabriella Lopez

Being lonely in a world that you isolated yourself in sucks.

You know that you have the power to get out of it but that takes actually putting yourself out there and that’s so terrifying.

What if you’re the friend that everyone gossips about when you’re not there.

What if you’re the one that everyone thinks is so annoying but they don’t ever say anything.

So you just stay silent and alone because that’s better than being popular and never knowing you’re hated.

But on the off chance that you’re liked.. is it worth it?

Is it worth adjusting your schedule, personality, and self to really try?

You’ve been like this for so long because something somewhere somehow someone conditioned you to think that you’re less.

Why?

Narrow that down and digest it. Really absorb it. Then accept the fact that you’re so much more than whoever was nasty enough to themselves that they had to bring you down with them. That’s great in theory. Maybe they actually attacked some truth and that’s heartbreaking.

You look into the mirror and never think that you’ll ever be anything more. That’s what’s not true. No matter who or what you are you’re always more than the person who made you feel like less. Always.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
