I don't have fears of being alone. Physically, I mean. I'm used to it, and I actually enjoy it a good deal of the time. Most of my life, day in & day out, is spent alone. I actually become overwhelmed when I'm with people too much.

The type of loneliness that hurts me is this feeling that I'm standing on one side of a thick wall of glass, foreign & unheard, while all of humanity is tied together on the other side. Some of them put their hands against the glass & smile, but none of them touch me. None of them know me. I will pass through this life having meant nothing. It's like a black hole & no one's in there but me.
