Can I meet your pain with mine? Can we just spend the afternoon holding each other? I don't want to be alone anymore. I hate this feeling of being alone. Please, let's share our pain. Just for one night.
Maybe they can just say hello. Maybe they can share the common knowledge that there's no fix, just endurance. Maybe we can laugh together at all the people saying "it will go away" or "you'll be okay." Because we know we don't really need to be okay. We need space to be a mess. So let's be un-okay together. Let's fall asleep in each other's chaos, because I don't want to be alone anymore.
And this isn't passing any time soon.
So let's just admit — one night won't do.
Let's admit, we know we aren't the remedy.
So let's be. Just be. Next to each other.
Being.
Questioning all of life, from my evangelical protestant upbringing to the hairs under my armpits.
