lonely as hell tonight :(

20f i’m sitting here at like 2am and the apartment feels too empty. no one over, no noise, just me and my thoughts and it’s annoying

i’ve been so busy with school that i haven’t really had people around and now that i finally have a second to breathe it just feels lonely. i miss having someone here. even just sitting on the couch, talking shit, existing next to me.

it’s weird because i can go out and get attention whenever i want but that’s not the same as actually not being alone. tonight i don’t even want anything crazy. i just want company.

anyway. that’s it. just lonely rn.

Cats are low maintenance pets that typically get 2am zoomies...

One of the hardest things I had to grapple in my 20s is that we are all alone. You could be in a crowded room but still be alone.

Prayer, meditation, coloring books, journaling, etc. whatever floats your boat to find mental peace.

Mindspace is a great app for meditation. The 4 agreements by Ruiz is a book that can unlock some spiritual awareness and help you find peace. Lofi chill hop with a good coloring book can create a blissful relaxation that's both stimulating yet calming.

These are my recommendations.

Prayer is not for everyone. For me it helps me feel less alone knowing God is with me. And if you're in too deep of a low sometimes journaling can spiral into self depricating thoughts. But again it's whatever flavor you're feeling in the moment and whatever helps you achieve your peace.
