“In life, we’ve all dealt with feelings of isolation and alienation, and we each have things we’ve turned to when navigating them. These things give us a way of escape and a sense of belonging. I myself have dealt with feelings of isolation. In my case, I unconsciously isolated myself from others, despite their efforts to include me. I later learned that what I needed was to adjust my viewpoint and remind myself that I wasn’t alone, nor did I have to be.

I had to remind myself of my talents, beliefs, and the people around me who love and care for me. Achieving this wasn’t easy, but it was worth the effort for personal growth and improvement of my mental health. I had to remind myself that I am Never Alone.”
