The only way to crack a real problem is to face it. Look your issues dead in the eye and sort out the beef between you. - Connor Franta

Parents don't understand cool. Never have. Never will.

The feeling of loneliness is temporary. It can easily be replaced by another feeling or action. Now, when I'm feeling down, I pick up the phone and call a friend for a chat or to meet. How can you be lonely if there is always someone to reach out to or spend time with? Loneliness really is a state of mind. A thought is only as strong as you allow it to be.

In my experience, if you let your scars own you, they will. Don't give them that power. Don't let them stunt your growth and progress.
