Description
All around you is the cacauphony of the sociable. They chatter, like birds, and the sound is musical. But no matter how loud they are, you are surrounded by a deafening silence. You are consumed by the desire to join them, but they do not understand. Your aloneness is agonizing, but to them, you seem to prefer solitude. You had a soul mate once. They understood you completely, and you grew to depend on them. They were the center of your universe, the star to your planet, and you hoped this life of orbiting them would never end. But it did. You desperately craved their companionship, their presence was intoxicating. But the closer you got to them, the more they were pushed away. Just like everyone else. So that is how you live. You treat friendships carefully. You desperately need someone to understand you, but you can let no one know you, lest you be abandoned. It has always been this way, for as long as you can remember. You did not choose this life, it was chosen for you. Yet despite all the pain and suffering it has caused you, isolation is your armor. It protects you from those who would do you harm. It has tempered you, honed you, made you sharp. By destroying any chance of your ever having allies, it has made you become the only ally you will ever need. It is your finest weapon and your greatest teacher. You live in solitude, but you are strong.
