Loneliness of one person

   night fell silently, and as usual, I scrolled through my phone, watching short videos and silently reading articles on some app.

  Time flies by, yet it also drags on. Being alone in a corner has become a habit. As I grow older, my friends are all striving for their lives in different places, working hard for their futures.

  For me, loneliness seems to have become the norm. I do the same things every day, with no one to talk to, and I can only express my thoughts and feelings through writing.

  Today is a cloudy day. Having not contacted my mother for a long time, and missing her, I couldn't help but call her while wandering around this afternoon. I was surprised to learn that she was at my grandmother's house with her, but I was also happy to hear that my grandmother is doing well.

  Health issues have prevented me from working right now. The thought of relying on my parents and partner for food, clothing, and medicine fills me with sadness. Which is more important, health or money? Having experienced so much, I feel health is paramount. A healthy body allows for better work and a better future. Without good health, you'll naturally have fewer people to interact with. For those who are frail and sickly, loneliness is a constant companion, day and night.

  Whether loneliness is good or bad is a profound question. On the one hand, being alone can prevent many unnecessary conflicts; on the other hand, prolonged loneliness can sometimes lead to a longing for companionship. It's said that humans are social animals, and most people don't enjoy being alone. So, what about you? Do you enjoy being alone?

  When I was single, loneliness and nights alone felt like a habit, a normal state of being, with only books and my phone for company. Now that I have someone I care about, loneliness only occurs occasionally. After all, who wouldn't want someone who cares about them? Whether that person is a friend or a lover.

  When you're alone, what's the first thing you want to do? For someone like me who enjoys writing, it's naturally to write and pour out my heart, to drive away the sorrow deep within. The only way to relieve sorrow is to find it within oneself. As for those who love playing games, they'd probably choose to play games; those who love taking photos would probably take pictures with their phones or cameras; and those who love traveling would probably choose to travel!

  Do you like being alone? Are you willing to accept being alone?

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

    Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself.      When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought.      After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
