Not just "alone" in the sense of without a relationship, but for real - in this state when you carry everything on yourself, every day, every evening, you live every emotion alone.

When you come home - and no one is waiting.
When you want to share news, even the stupidest, but there is nowhere to tell.

When you laugh out loud at something - and there is no one nearby who would pick up this laughter.
When you cry - and only your pillow listens to you at night.

This is loneliness. It is not always visible from the outside.
I smile, communicate, work, make some plans - and everything seems to be fine.
But inside, it’s like an empty room where no one has turned on the light for a long time.

I’ve already had relationships. I was even married. You know how it happens — it seems like you’re building a life, that there’s “your” person next to you, that everything will be right, as it should be…
And then time passes, and you suddenly realize that there’s a stranger next to you.
That you seem to be living on the sidelines of your own life, away from feelings, from warmth, from love.

I didn’t feel loved.
There was no look that made you freeze inside.
There were no words that would warm your soul.
It was just… a waste of time.
And that’s probably the most painful thing — to feel lonely inside a relationship.

And now that it’s in the past, I clearly know what I want. Not an ideal prince, not a movie passion, not an endless "be strong"...
But a real, living, warm relationship, where there is support, tenderness, interest in each other.
Where both want to be together - not because it is necessary, but because they cannot do otherwise.

You know, I like to think that if we are both here, on this site, it means that there is something similar inside us.
You, too, are probably tired of loneliness?
It does not only concern women.
Men also feel pain, sadness, loneliness - they just maybe talk about it less.

And you? How do you cope with loneliness? What does it mean to you to be not alone?

I am not in a hurry - I am just going to meet you halfway. To meet someone who, like me, wants not just correspondence, but a life filled with meaning, emotions, touches and that warm silence that only happens with a loved one.
