There is a particular kind of loneliness that lives quietly in the lives of people who are always expected to be strong. It is a loneliness that doesn’t scream, doesn’t make noise, doesn’t gather attention. Instead, it settles like a shadow in the background, following the strong friend through every season of life. This loneliness exists not because they lack people around them, but because everyone assumes they are fine. Everyone assumes they are coping. Everyone assumes they don’t need help.
