Loneliness for a girl is not just the absence of a man by her side.
It is a state of mind when you have no one to be yourself with.
When you come home, take off your shoes, your eyelashes, your mask of confidence,
and the silence becomes too loud.
It's not about “not having a partner.”
It's about “not having a shoulder to lean on without explaining what happened.”
Loneliness is when you have a lot to say,
but you don't know who to say it to.
When you keep your emotions inside
because you're tired of being “strong,” but you're afraid of being “weak.”
It's when you hear the phrase “you're so beautiful, how can you be alone?”
and inside you want to shout:
“Is beauty a protection against emptiness?”
For a girl, loneliness is
when you want love,
but even more so — understanding, acceptance, warmth.
When you don't want to just be in a relationship,
but want to be with someone who won't lose you in the hustle and bustle.
And yes, we can be alone.
Successful. Independent. Strong.
But that doesn't mean we don't dream of lying in someone's palm
and just letting our soul rest.
💬 Being alone isn't always painful.
Sometimes it's a path to yourself.
A pause.
A reboot.
A lesson.
But every girl, even the most confident,
has at least once laid her head on her pillow and whispered:
“I just want someone to be there. Not for show. But for real.”
