Have you ever gone through this scenario…
There’s a movie that you’re excited about when it’s time to watch it, you found no one to go with?
It’s the weekend, and you feel like going out, but there’s no one on your mind. So, you scroll through the contact list.
This one is a bad listener, this one is too judgmental, this one…we are not close enough.
Why is it so hard to find someone you can click with? To the couples out there, does this happen to you as well?
I watched Barbie with my mother, but it’s just different. She couldn’t understand the complexity of the movie. This is not the first time that she couldn’t follow the storyline or appreciate the beauty of cinematic art.
Recently, I’ve decided to take a break from an NGO that I’ve been faithfully serving for the past 6 years. And then, suddenly I realised that I don’t have a life outside of this NGO! I grew tired of doing work for free, not only do I have to invest my time and energy, I have to invest money too! And to make it worst, my efforts were not appreciated by the leaders. Hence, I’ve had enough of it. I quit my role and now just thinking of what do I do with my life without this NGO.
That’s where the loneliness kicks in. I belong to a community, but this community doesn’t make me feel belonged anymore. I tried fitting in, but it was filled with narcissists who seek fame, glory and power.
