The Fog of Loneliness

Dear Delyara, Loneliness isn't just being alone; it's the feeling that no one really sees the person inside the skin. I’ve been living in a thick fog for months, watching the world go by from a distance. Coming to Delyara felt like stepping into a lighthouse. I wrote about the silence of my apartment and the way the phone never rings with the voice I want to hear. But as I wrote, the fog started to lift. I realized that by sharing my truth with the paper, I am no longer alone. I am connected to every other soul who has ever felt invisible. I am part of the stars now.
