"A Life Alone"

More about "A Life Alone"

For a time, I kept a distance from others. I needed to break the cycle of befriending someone, getting familiar with them, then pushing them away with my issues. I wanted to save others from myself by becoming a recluse. For a few months after a terrible break-up, I stayed above a dingy bar in a dank room inside of a grimey building. I was fine there. I accepted that life as my continuum until death because getting close to someone would eventually end in one more person knowing how messed up I am. Original photo by Noah Silliman on Unsplash.
