ILL I WANTED

All I've wanted out of this life. It was to be somebody's reason, it's that simple. Nothing else.

But I can't even get that.#@#GRATEFUL WRLD

2/2 Edited to

... Read moreIn moments of deep introspection, many of us realize that beyond all our goals and achievements, what truly matters is feeling valued and needed by someone. The desire to be "somebody's reason" is a powerful sentiment that reflects the fundamental human longing for purpose and connection. Having personally experienced periods of feeling overlooked or disconnected, I've found that this yearning is not unique but rather universal. It is a reminder that sometimes our greatest quest isn't for fame, wealth, or status, but simply to matter to another person. This can be a friend who listens, a family member who cares, or a partner who cherishes us. However, it’s important to acknowledge that this desire can also bring pain when unfulfilled. Feeling unable to be someone's reason can lead to a sense of isolation, stirring feelings of sadness and longing. This emotional struggle highlights the importance of self-compassion and developing inner sources of fulfillment. One approach I’ve found helpful is focusing on small acts of kindness and connection. By being present and supportive to others, we create meaningful bonds and often find that we become someone's reason without even realizing it. Additionally, embracing gratitude, as hinted by the phrase "#@#GRATEFUL WRLD", helps shift perspective from what is missing to appreciating what is present. Ultimately, the journey to be somebody’s reason encourages us to cultivate empathy, resilience, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. It is a reminder that even in moments of doubt, our inherent value persists, awaiting acknowledgment and reciprocation through genuine human connection.

I have no friends & I’m okay with it
I’ve always wanted a best friend. Someone I can get ready with, someone who’s unapologetically herself and is secure in herself, someone I can go impromptu shopping with, have sleepovers and fun nights out with. Finding friends as a woman in her early 20’s is so hard. Everyone is still figuring
