I’m so tired of carrying this weight. People see my smile, they hear me joke, they think I’m fine… but they don’t know what happens when I’m alone. Inside my head it never stops. The overthinking, the doubts, the fear of losing people I love. It’s like I’m fighting invisible battles that no one else can see.
The truth is, I feel empty most of the time. I’ve given so much of myself to others that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’ve adapted, changed, adjusted — just to keep people close, just to avoid being left behind. But deep down, I’ve lost myself.
The scars on my skin are only echoes of the pain I can’t put into words. They’re not about wanting to die — they’re about trying to survive when my mind won’t give me a break. The burning pain distracts me from the storm in my chest. But afterwards, I’m left with guilt, shame, and the same thoughts again.
What I want is simple, yet it feels impossible: love without conditions. A hand to hold when the noise gets too loud. Reassurance when my mind tells me I’m not enough. Safety. Peace. Someone to remind me that I don’t always have to be strong.
I don’t know why I was born into this life if all I do is struggle. I don’t want pity, I don’t want fake comfort — I want to feel real again. To feel whole again. I want to stop carrying this darkness alone.
If you’ve ever felt like this, know that I see you. You’re not crazy. You’re not weak. You’re not alone in this silence. Maybe one day, we’ll both find the light we’ve been searching for. Until then, I’ll keep fighting — even if it’s just to prove to myself that I still can.

reading this felt like someone wrote pages from my old journals. i remember wanting just one person to sit with me without expecting me to be funny or strong. i didn’t need big words, just someone who saw how tired i was.
i used to laugh loud around friends then go home and rip myself apart in silence. no one knew how much i hated being in my own skin. scars felt like the only thing that showed what my brain wouldn’t shut up about.
I know how you feel. I struggle being alone and wondering what is my purpose in life. How do I find joy and happiness without a partner.
