Isolation
In your loneliness, you're not alone. It's natural and typical to feel lonely from time to time.
The fact that it is prevalent does not imply that loneliness will not overwhelm you. This is why, if you're now experiencing this, you could be wondering why and how to stop feeling lonely.
This COVID-19, this has changed everything. Nothing will be the same. When I’m suffocating in my own presence in my apartment I quietly gasp for clarity with these little Zoom calls, texts and Netflix viewing parties. I see all these beautiful pixelated faces. All these souls that I rather experience in person - a luxury that I can’t have. I patiently wait for them as their picture flickers on the screen and as the glitches finally sync their words with their mouth. I yearn for the familiar voice of those who know me best. It feels like most times my soul is trying to leap through the glass just to be with the ones I love. I feel foolish.
