I just want someone to talk to.

I know we're all different, but I think we all share the same reason for being here - we're lonely and just want to talk to someone. It's hard to believe that there's no one with a similar story to mine. I got married very young, my wife got sick and died. I've got a great job, but I've got no one to talk to. I'm 21 and I think it's about time I stop dwelling in the past.<br><br>I've got a pretty exaggerated itinerary for the next few years. I'm going to buy a house for me and my kid, meet new people, go on a few vacations, and hopefully, meet my second love. My kid needs a mom figure, and I think it's about time I stopped grieving and started repairing. I was in love with my wife to the point where I could barely stand to be in the same room as another woman. I don't know what's happened, but I think we've all reached the end of the road. We need to learn to be happy, or at least, learn to be okay with being lonely. I think it's time for me to take down her wedding dress and tell my kid stories about her. It's okay to be lonely, but it's ruining us.
