Oof. This song. I just. Ugh.

It took me a couple of takes just to get through without tearing up. I always think I’m gonna make it all the way through, and then I get to the third verse and I have to listen to myself sing “Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name. Nobody came”... And I just break down.

One year ago today I was surrounded by my best friends on a choir trip to California. Little did we know that was the last week we were gonna have together. I love them all so much, but the distance has been so hard, and now I just spend all my days alone. Last time I hung out with somebody my age was... November? I can’t remember. And I think of this song and I realize that I am one of all the lonely people. I hope it’s gonna change.

To any of you that also feel lonely. This is not the end of your story. You have so much more to do and to live for. When we lose friends, we have a chance to find new ones. We are constantly changing, and sometimes that means we need to leave people from the past behind us, and that is okay. It’s how life is supposed to be. Change is beautiful in the most painful way. And sometimes it leaves us feeling lonely for a while. Know that better days are coming.
