People who aren't lonely in their own company can make anyone feel at home in their presence. People who take time to hear themselves become the best listeners. People who talk to the storms within them can talk anyone down to ease. The loneliness that this world fears is very powerful when it's solitude.

Do you know how it feels? The room is so wide but you can't fit in. Look, the door is there but you can't get out. The window is open but you can't breathe…

If I could have put what I was feeling into words, the words would have been an infant’s wail: I don’t want to be alone. I want someone to want me. I’m lonely. I’m scared. I need to be loved, to be touched, to be held
Excerpt From: Laing, Olivia. “The Lonely City.”

When I say you, I mean me. Who else can I talk to? Before you were born, the world got along hopelessly without you, lonely without knowing why.

I don't think it's the loneliness that scares people. I think they are more scared of knowing that they are lonely alone.

I've reached the maximum limit of loneliness, it hurts. Entire months without even receiving a message, if I don't write.
