Oof. Every word hits the nail on its head. Not an easy thing to experience. Well done turning the experience into words

Nothingness, as devoid as it is, really is a terribly hard experience to overcome. Thank you for reading, Aurora!

Yeah, I know this feeling as well. I have no way to say as well as you do, though.

I think all experiences and expression about them regarding this are valid, especially with how crushing it is to feel invalidated in the midst of depression.

The voice of your heart allows other hearts to fully sense every word lovingly chosen. Oodles of love @Brooklyn Crane <3

Thank you so, so much! ✨ I hope it serves as company for the lonely, most of all.

From the heart's perspective, the sensation of being lonely exists only by choice. Everything, everywhere, all at once, is infinitely 'connected' to unconditional love that was, is and always will be. This inner-standing rises from within. Keep shining your light into hearts <3 Oodels of love!

I agree! However, it is terribly unfortunate that the whole (human) world walks us through choosing loneliness and pain. :’)

eLOVEution's avatar

Yes. From the perspective of love, loneliness and pain are choices created through the heart for growth and expansion. Once a heart remembers who they are in truth, LOVE, they walk through the pain and loneliness with love. It is one of many paradoxes of the human experience. Oodles of love to you.

Powerful words, Brooklyn. This sounds as if it were a difficult one to work through. The blankness and isolation of depression is so all consuming that words are hard to find 🙏
