i scrolled past a post about flights to bucharest and felt a twinge of longing. in a city full of people, i have never felt so alone. i clicked like on a photo from someone i haven’t spoken to in years, and my heart dropped—what if they see it? - nobody to share a laugh with, nobody to call when it all gets too heavy. it's strange how the more connections you have, the more invisible you become. s...
