Dying alone

when people say “I don’t want to die alone” or “I’m going to be alone forever” it's almost always when someone breaks your heart, you broke up with someone, you’ve been alone your whole life, or you never have. I could never understand that. You will die alone. We all will die alone. When we close our eyes for an everlasting slumber, we leave our bodies alone. Are you not enough? People always like to reference a deep dark hole in one’s heart. Cased by: betrayal, love, molestation, crime, death, life. We talk about it like it is an infinite freefalling pit that we cannot fill. it feels as though everything we do to try to fill it never works alcohol, the love of another, drugs, sex. It never works, then it starts to fill like avoid (but it is not) no matter how deep or how much you let life take a chunk of you; you can fill it because you are enough. You only need you. You can only feel that hole. Not with anyone’s help but your own. They always say “you want something done right? Do it yourself” think of it like conservation energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed; the universe’s total energy is constant; you are missing a piece of yourself. find it. You are not going to find it in someone else. the energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. Being alone does not mean your lonely. You are conserving your energy for yourself, recuperating. dying alone is not for anyone else to share, but you. Graduation of self-love. That you love yourself so much that your soul is done sharing it with everyone else.

We are just like stars in the sky. We're are in someone's back yard once in a while but we are apart of something bigger than the universe.
