The Strange Truth of Life: The Battle Between Belonging and Loneliness

I never thought I’d have to leave my loved ones behind and live among strangers. I never imagined that the garden of happiness would wither, forcing me to open a shop of sorrows. I never thought I’d become so lonely that I’d forget how to talk to myself. I never considered that I’d have to depart this world alone.

Now, I no longer think, nor will I ponder, about who to live with or who to die with. Living alone brings sorrow, and even the company of dear ones has brought only grief. Those were my own who once gave me a courtyard filled with joy. Even if God wills it, He cannot shield me from the pain inflicted by loved ones. Now, I will walk only with those who are truly mine.

Every time, my mother explained that no one remains truly ours, and that’s why all sorrows have made me weep. Now, I’ve resolved to live alone, to die alone, if no one dear crosses my path. What is the way of this world? Some are rich, some are poor, yet no one has a truly happy life.

Why???
