I’ve noticed another pattern in some of the recent submissions, not all of which have been posted yet. There are a lot of us who feel alone. Loneliness, is a powerful emotion. Loneliness can be felt, in the busiest of places. We seek out others in this digital realm to help ease the pain. A pain which often isn’t always the sharp edge of a jagged blade. An enduring pain that can wrench deep and scar our insides.
There are walls we place up in defense of our innermost thoughts and deepest emotions. Walls to protect us from the harsh judgment or ridicule. There is a certain comfort that can be felt in opening up these darkest revelations of ourselves to a stranger. Break down the barriers and be true to yourself. Reveal the darkest within you to another and encourage them to share their own with you.. free of judgment. Wipe the momentary fear from your mind, and tell the secret crush or object of lust how you feel.
In darkness,
Sire
one of my favorite things about this site is that it helps relieve my sense of aloneness…i get to see that other people feel the same way i do and that i’m really not as alone as i think i am. i still feel lonely, but that is more from lack of another person with me than from lack of conversation. it is entirely different online, but it helps some. plus i get to share my feelings with others in hopes that it will help them too. thank you sire for giving us a place to come, and thanks to everyone who has listened and responded to me.
I thought there was supposed to be evil here, whats going on? where is the evil? i was promised evil! whats this aloneness boolsheet? you’re alone because you were picking up beaks when everyone else was eating oranges, don’t worry, the temple can help!
I think lonliness has been a part of the “Goth” pathos throughout the years. It helps to explain the schisms within. (to wit: the “Gawther-Than-Thou” cliquishness)
