We really never know what battles people are facing every single day. Something I not while living, working and spending all day on a university campus is that we spend a lot of the day alone. We are surrounded by other people constantly but are so independent in our daily lives that we actually spend a lot of our day going about our own ways. I can go an entire day not talking to anyone.

Everyone can feel alone in a world full of people. I think we forget how powerful a hello to someone or a small talk conversation can be. I spend a lot of my day alone and in my own head overthinking it all. I wonder if anyone knows how difficult it is for me to get out of bed in the morning. How difficult it is to put one foot in front of the other. I’m alone in this battle I live in everyday even though I am surrounded by people everywhere I look.
