A Letter for Lonely Days | A Little Company for Quiet Moments

Hey you,

You don’t have to be alone to feel loneliness. Sometimes it appears in the middle of a crowded room, on days that are busy, and that look fine from the outside (in fact, that is often exactly what loneliness looks like!)

This letter was written with the help of Letters from Poppy followers, and so this letter has been written by people who have struggled with feelings of loneliness, for people who are currently feeling lonely.

For those moments that feel empty, even when you can’t explain it.

Extract:

“It sits on your chest, with a weird sense of emptiness that overwhelms you.

Everywhere you look, people seem to be having fun, exploring new places, eating at beautiful restaurants, going to gigs, spending time with their families. It can feel like you’re being left behind. Forgotten. Unwanted.”
