To the one feeling left out,
When this letter reaches you, I'm sure you'd be scrolling hopelessly through your Instagram feed wondering the fun vacations the world around is having, and so much that people are upto in the middle of the pandemic, and with a hinge of guilt in your souls you'll continue going through posts after posts until it's time for you to sleep.
This world has somehow become a strangely toxic place, where people are lonely and ironically not alone in being lonely. I know it hurts you to see those couple pictures and then look at your hands empty, but let me tell you a secret, even when you ask these couples of love, they'll also tell
you what heartbreak is. You see, the bucket list of success they boast about, and their lives all put together, it's a mirage exactly like how you portray a perfect living, they do too.
You remember times when guests came home and we'd want to make our houses look perfect? Did we ever actually clean it, or did we just hide the extras under tables, behind curtains or in that one room where guests weren't allowed?
That exactly is social media.
I'm not questioning or calling your insecurities wrong, but I'm just trying to show you another side of the coin.
Isn't standing out and not fitting in definitions a good thing?
We're all free to move with our own pace, we're all free to run our own race and fall and rest and get back again. What if they have five degrees or are on a cruise to Malaysia, that's their story and their narrative, lets talk about changing ours.
With love,
Someone as lonely as you.
Cheers
