Feeling hopelessly empty for reasons unexplained. I wish I could fill the hollow depths of my heart and never look down – I want to stay as I am, and rely on no one other than myself.

I selfishly wish for independence, though I know that we cannot live alone and fear a life of solitude. But if I should walk on my own, if it’s only for the time being, I can bear this feeling. However, there are times that I long to know and feel that I am special – to know that someone out there loves me, just as I am. I want that emotional security. I just want to know that I am loved.

I am blessed with the beautiful wonders of my family and friends, but what I seek is something a little different. One day, I shall find it and embrace the feeling with my entire being. I won’t lie and say that I will face it without fear, because more than anything, it is the wonders that the future may bring me is what scares me a little, so I will use my courage to keep walking towards the unknown for a new beginning.

Although I may feel empty, hopeless and alone right now, I’ll remember in my heart and my mind that there is a future ahead of me that’s waiting.
