Welcome to my submission for this month's tilde carnival! The theme is:
"What's the scariest thing ever to happen to you?"
I thought really long and hard, and I came up with a lot of things. Unemployment, nightmares, health problems, but all of those fade away. So I was left with one final candidate:
Every time that I have felt isolated in my life, it was the worst thing that I could ever imagine. Whenever I had company, I did not think twice about how miserable loneliness is. And yet, every time that I returned to it, it hit me as if it were the first time. The longer I've spent in company, the more dreadful the loneliness hits afterwards.
I want to fix this.
