"Being alone doesn't mean sitting in a dark room by yourself, being alone means sitting in a room full of people yet feeling empty. All my life i've craved the love I gave but somehow it always missed me. I have a family, I have a roof over my head and so much more and honestly I am so grateful for it all. But this loneliness kills me, it breaks every dream and shatters any ounce of hope I've gathered after all these years of trying. I just want to be loved and not by someone who'll leave, not from my family because I've let that expectation go, not by friends who will leave me when things get hard. I want someone to hold my hand and tell me I'll not alone and that I will never face the darkness that lives within me alone I just need someone to show me that even someone like me can be loved, despite being a broken mess. I swear all I want is someone to hug the broken pieces back together, to reassure me that one day everything will be ok and i'll eventually be whole. One day I won't be this broken soul that I am."

Just something I saw on twitter. Something that resonates with me more than I thought it would.
