"Every day at school, during the lunch break,

I see students sitting in pairs and groups.

And me?

Somewhere in a corner of the ground,

I sit alone and have my lunch.

Alone. All alone."

"Thinking alone, regretting alone, crying alone,

And healing alone

Will create a version of you

You never imagined.

Even if it takes time to build that version,

Trust me —

You will have the strength

To face the toughest battles in this world."

These lines ... I understand your pain very well. In school I was same and at present I am just what you described in last few lines.

And yes I know how LONELY it feels when you desperately need someone to share something...a good news, a bade news, a success, a failure but it's more hard when your parents are not around too and you're stay with your in laws and when you pick up the phone and scroll the whole contact list atleast twice and still find no one to talk to. And yes you don't want to burden your bestie everytime.

So yes I know very well the pain you described.

Thank you so much for sharing this… your words truly touched me.

It means a lot to know that someone who has lived through the same silence, the same “sitting alone” moments, can understand these lines so deeply. What you said about wanting to share something, good or bad and still finding no one to call… that hits hard. And you’re right, it becomes even tougher when your parents aren’t around, and you’re living with in-laws, trying not to burden your best friend every time.

Your honesty means more than you know. And trust me the strength you’ve built through all these lonely seasons is something rare and powerful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my post. It truly means the world to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my latest posts as well — do check them out whenever you get a moment.

Thank you again, and sorry for the late reply… I was caught up with a few things.

Stay connected. 💛

If you are in a dark place, seek help. It’s one of the best things you could ever do.

Thank you so much for your concern; it truly means a lot to me. But don’t worry, I’m not in a dark place. This piece came more from reflection than pain. I’ve learned to accept my reality, understand myself better, and express those emotions through writing. Sometimes I write about phases we all go through, even if I’m not experiencing them right now.

I completely agree with you, though if someone is struggling or feeling overwhelmed, seeking help is one of the strongest and healthiest steps they can take. No one should ever feel alone in that.

Your reminder is important, and I’m really glad you shared it here. 💛

Dejaste de estar sólo mujer, diste con el club del pensamiento y sentimientos libres. Como te llames realmente y desde el punto del universo que vengas, preciosa, linda y maravillosa mujer que no se merece bajo ningún motivo el asilencio a la que se la postergó.

Muchas gracias por tus palabras tan bonitas y llenas de cariño, de verdad las valoro muchísimo. 🌼 Y sí, aquí me siento acompañada por personas que también sienten, piensan y comparten desde el corazón. No importa de qué parte del mundo vengamos, lo importante es que nos encontramos a través de lo que escribimos.

Gracias por recordarme que nadie merece el silencio impuesto; tu mensaje realmente me hizo sonreír.

También quiero agradecerte por tomarte el tiempo de leer y comentar mi post. Significa muchísimo para mí. Me encantaría que leyeras mis últimas publicaciones cuando tengas un momento; tus pensamientos siempre son bienvenidos. Y disculpa la demora en responder… estuve un poco ocupada

Mantente en contacto. 💛

Enjoy and cherish this alone time for now, do not mourn it. A time will come when you will want it and it won't be there

Thank you so much for saying this; it’s such a gentle and thoughtful reminder. I’m learning to appreciate my alone time more, rather than seeing it as something to be sad about. You’re right… There will come a day when I might actually long for this quiet, this space, and even the stillness I sometimes take for granted now.

It’s strange how something that can feel heavy or lonely at times can also teach us so much about ourselves, help us grow, and give us moments of peace we rarely notice. Your words really made me pause and reflect, and I truly appreciate you sharing this perspective with me. 💛

You're welcome, I'll check them out. If it's not a hassle please check out mine too, I need honest thoughts on them and not just 'you write so well'

Fighting a similar fight... Thank you.

You’re very welcome. 💛 I know how heavy and exhausting it can feel to fight these battles, and sometimes it seems like no one truly understands. But please remember, every struggle you face is shaping you, helping you grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient than you realize.

You’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way at times. It’s okay to take things one step at a time, to rest when you need to, and to be gentle with yourself along the way. Keep believing in yourself, you are stronger than you think, and brighter days are always ahead. 🌟

If you ever feel like you want to talk to someone, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to hear whatever you want to share.

Honestly… reading this felt like overhearing myself give myself a pep talk I didn’t remember having. Like—hello?? why is my inner monologue published here word for word? It’s wild how someone else can write the exact things you only ever admit to yourself at 2am.

🎨 Shreya’s Canvas of Thoughts's avatar

Wow… reading your comment honestly gave me chills. 😅 It’s wild how writing can capture those exact thoughts we only ever hear in our own heads at 2am, things we never say out loud, not even to ourselves sometimes. And then somehow, someone else puts it into words, and it feels like they’ve peeked straight into your mind.

It’s both a little eerie and really comforting at the same time. You realize you’re not as alone in your thoughts as you might have felt. I’m so glad this piece resonated with you and made you feel seen, that’s exactly what I hoped for when writing it. 💛

Thank you so much, Asuka, for being such an active reader and for leaving your valuable and amazing comments. It truly means so much to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ahh you’re so sweet — and honestly, the way you described it feels like we both accidentally met in the same 2am hallway of thoughts. Your piece landed so quietly and so precisely, I couldn’t not say something. I’m really glad it reached you too~
