The Future is Scary

[LittleThings]

It really is when I think about it. I always wonder what will become of me so many years down the line. What will happen to me, will I be able to live comfortably? Will I be a productive member of society? It seems like I'm spinning my wheels here, like what I'm doing now won't lead to anything. Life left me behind while those around me developed meaningful relationships while I haven't as so much held hands with someone. I've felt like an outcast most of my life, never finding a place to belong. I work to busy myself and keep my negative thoughts at bay, but am I even able to have a happy relationship? I've been alone for so long that I don't think I could share my life with someone else at this point. I avoid places with lots of people because of my introversion and anxiety. Even around those I know I just don't feel comfortable. People say that you'll meet the right one eventually when you least expect it, but I don't believe any of it. They only say that out of pity. I don't want pity. Another year has come and gone, and I continue to feel lost. Solitude is my haven and my prison.

Dear LittleThings,
I know the future can be scary sometimes for all of us. I think you're really brave for admitting these tough feelings. When you look back I bet there are many things you overcame and brought you to where you are, and little by little the good choices you make will help build a good future for you. I think you're making some really healthy choices by reflecting and being honest with yourself about your fears and what you want. Keep it up, there's hope for a good future for you
