I remember the last conversation I had with J about our favourite influencer.
Well… I’d say she’s living proof that even people who seem to have it all can still struggle deeply. She comes from an upper-income family, is religious, had a good career, and a husband to complete her life. Yet, she experienced desperate loneliness and searched for something to heal her.
Since I was a kid, I was taught by my parents and the people around me that loneliness happens because we don’t engage enough with God. It’s often believed to be the result of not praying enough, not reciting enough, or not doing enough good deeds. People tend to judge us for not being religious enough, or for being too attached to the dunya.
But as human beings, it’s completely normal to feel that way. We all go through moments of weakness. And it’s okay to seek help — without shame or guilt — and admit that we’re struggling and in need of support
Recently, I’ve struggling to get my self back after breaking-up… I cannot lie how terrified that feeling and think myself so unworthy of love. I’m scared to talk to people and don’t want to burdening them with my situation. Yet, I came to realise loneliness is just part of us, soul and physic.
When you have to deal with this… I hope you don’t blame yourself that much, talk to that friends, family, someone you trust. And just remember this, loneliness isn’t something bad things happen to you, yet it just a soul need to be healed by you…
