To anyone who’s been lonely this year, I want to say thank you.

It’s been a strange and hard year for many of us. We’ve been locked down in isolation, safe, yet still emotionally suffering. Some of us have lost friends and family, some of us have lost our jobs or our sanity. Some of us have lost our grip on our mental health. Some of us have lost being able to express ourselves the way we want to. Some of us have lost our energy to do anything. <br><br>To anyone who’s been lonely this year, I want to say thank you. Thank you for pushing through this. Thank you for doing the best you can. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for fighting for your mental health. Thank you for being yourself, the most beautiful and saddest part of this is that despite all of the things we have lost, we are still here, and that is a gift. We are doing the best we can, and in a way, I think that’s enough.
