Off Script: Stories & Soul Talk

*This was written at a time in my life when I finally lived on my own but felt really distant from people and like I had no one.

“Have you ever felt alone even though you have people around you? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. I see everyone in relationships around me, whether they are happy or sad, which I don’t know. But what I do know is that I’m alone. I give my all to everyone, but when I look back to see who has me, I see no one. I’m trying my best to move forward and stay in a positive mindset, but it seems my mind gets the best of me sometimes. God knows that I love Him, but I struggle to see my purpose at times. I never thought I would feel this alone in my life, but I do. I know, God, that You are supposed to be enough to sustain me, but You didn’t create us to be alone in this life. God, I promise I’m trying to find the beauty and the purpose for what You have me going through, but I can’t see it. Don’t get me wrong, God, I love the relationship we have, and I know that timing for You is everything, but I’m hurting, I’m struggling, and I’m trying to do my best to get things right, and yet I feel worthless and undeserving of anything I ask for. I know in your eyes we are all the same, but God, how is it that those who don’t put You first are blessed with everything they’ve ever wanted or that they don’t struggle? I know that I’m not perfect, God, but why is it that everything I want is a struggle? Why can’t I just have a husband that loves me, or kids, or a family that appreciates and cares for me? Everything seems so distant when it comes to me that it feels so unreachable. I know You always provide, but the things that I deeply desire, God, aren’t what I have been given or even come close to. I thank you for all the blessings You have given me, and I don’t want to sound ungrateful because I am, but when will I know the happiness of being in a happy and healthy relationship with someone who loves me? God, I feel so alone; please take this pain away.”

You are not alone in how you are feeling. Sometimes even when we are with people we care about, we still feel alone. The best way I have found to deal with those feelings is to acknowledge them and find safe outlets and safe spaces to express those feelings and, most importantly, lean on God.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of loneliness, you’re not alone—and your story matters. I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, feelings, or any tips that have helped you navigate those moments. This is a safe space—open, vulnerable, and rooted in respect. If there’s a story on your heart or a truth you’ve been holding in, you’re invited to share it here.
