We are all alone

Even if you have a partner, friends, family, you are on your own. There is no one else in your mind with you. That perpetual irritating voice? That’s you too. We can kid ourselves, surround ourselves with others, have social networks spanning reality and hyper-reality. But when you shut your eyes it’s just you. You are responsible. If you’re happy, if you’re a mess. The buck stops at your door. And all this stuff; people, jobs, community, you may feel connected but it’s not quite true. 

There is a way to turn this around and that is to acknowledge and accept it, to celebrate it, celebrate being separate, being an individual, being unique. Being You.
