“People are lonelier than ever, and yet we pretend that needing each other is some horrible flaw. We call it self-preservation, but it’s isolation in disguise” we truly are living in the age of loneliness, loved reading this! •.•.•

masyaallah this is very beautiful and meaningful as someone who cares really deeply because my friends would be weird why I care so much about human connection and have so much love to give "why would u care/has nothing to do with u" NO NO yes it does I care about everyone and everything

meesh's avatar

Yes exactly!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment Haya!! This whole “it has nothing to do with you” and the “every man for himself” mindset is so awful and so deeply embedded into us as a society now it’s awful! I hope we continue these conversations that go against that and make a difference sooner rather than later!

Damn!! It was so beautiful, so beautiful that it felt like someone is holding my hand and patting it with their eyes looking in mine telling me to put aside the prententiousness and allow my real raw self to be here, to be everywhere with me, and to not hide her anymore.

Thank You!

"Being nonchalant and numb is easy. It's safe. But it's not human." Woah. This is such a simple but effective way to sum up your point. I am fully aware of the current humanity crisis (if you will) and I love reading pieces that discuss it. Yours hit me like a freight train. Simple, raw, intimate, and human. What a lovely piece. Thank you.

meesh's avatar

Thank YOU unstable croissant (incredible username btw) for taking the time to read and to comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed the piece

Very well articulated and to the point. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. In a world obsessed with the rat race, your authentic voice is a needed reset. Win the race and you are still a rat. Your call to choose kindness and real connection in every moment is the antidote. I plan to put this into practice.
