It’s Day 3! I’m feeling a lot better now and managed to go to one lecture today. Hopefully, I’m good enough to go to the tute tomorrow, fingers crossed.
“You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. You can be the most popular person in school, envied by every girl and wanted by every boy, and still feel completely worthless. The world can be laid at your feet and you can still not know what you want from it.”
— Chelsea Knot
This quote is from Speechless by Hannah Harrington, and it’s about a girl who took a vow of silence because the last secret she shared almost endangered someone. This quote is when she transformed from being the gossip girl of the school to someone who had all of that stripped away from her. It’s a very good read about personal discovery and growth.
Personally, this quote hit hard. I’m always surrounded by people, be it at home, in classes, in volunteering sessions, you name it. I’m vice president of an organisation, so I always have people texting me and calling me. My classmates ring me up to do their assignments with me. Despite that, sometimes I still catch myself feeling very lonely. All these people have their own circle of friends who would do anything for them, but not me. My family, best friend and boyfriend live far away from me and that hurts a lot. I have to admit, I got a bit emotional last week thinking nobody might even do anything for my birthday, which sucks because I’m not supposed to expect and ridiculous because my birthday isn’t for another two months!
Anyway, enough brooding! I’ll just send myself a couple of books and skincare stuff as a birthday gift, from me to me and celebrate when I’m meeting my BFF.
