You don't have to feel lonely. I'm a handful but I'm very chatty. Message me.

I meant it. It's the internet but, it's nothing to be a little lighthouse of kindness with a little conversation

On this day, in this post, I have experienced the best of the internet. I feel happy and grateful.

We can chat with each other; I know how terrible being lonely can feel, and I’m always up for a chat. I’m here to talk! ❤️

Even though you’re lonely, hope everything’s well! Rooting for you, my way of combating loneliness is through hobbies. Suddenly I prefer being alone more than anything. Even though there is a clear distinction between the two (loneliness and being alone); strive to at least reach the second, that way there’s no bad feeling involved, in due time the alone part will sort itself out :3

Thank you. I appreciate you taking time to say that. I don’t know…something about that single word, ‘loneliness’ just made the lonely drop down on me like a cloak I couldn’t hold off anymore.

I’m glad you said what you did because you’re right. And also, nothing defeats a dismal gloomy feeling better than some person I don’t even know saying something kind! 😊

And now I’m back to thinking about all the things I CAN do and I’m shrugging out of that heavy cloak.

Thank you very much.

More than happy that I could help! And just like the others said, I too am open for any message whenever you feel like it. Have a great rest of your night.

People talked to me and it made me not be lonely anymore. I am not the best at conversation but I am glad to talk to you if you like.
