so they invented the card game to keep you company.

alone.

small word. quiet definition. loud meaning.

being alone may mean solitary, in a room by yourself. left alone with your thoughts, in the quiet, to think, reflect. as the most annoying phrase goes: "some 'me' time". 

or moments when your not together with anyone, you're single, without that person to push you up a hill, or buy you drinks, kiss your forehead during the bad times, or just make your day that little bit brighter. 

but then there can be moments when you are surrounded by people, laughing and joking, but still feeling like the loneliest person around. 

finally, there are the moments when your heart is breaking, or you are going through something that no-one will understand. something that you really can't tell people. even though you want to so very badly.

i hate being alone. i don't like my thoughts, and i do need people to push me up hills, and pull me through the bad times. i don't trust myself to not break down.

but maybe once in a while we do need to be alone. to try and gain that trust. but ultimately to gain perspective that we're never truly alone. there will always be someone. someone to hug you. someone to help you. someone's shoulder to cry on. someone to talk to. 

even if it is your stuffed teddy...

there is always a little bit of strength out there, waiting for you, and that's the main thing.
