I've just returned from spending a lot of time with my friend and his family. This coupled with the fact that Mother's Day just passed has made me feel extra lonely. I've always wanted to feel like I actually belong somewhere. Even before I started living with my friend, I was always out of place. I was abused, bullied, or ignored by everyone in my life up until about 2 years ago. Something I feel like I need right now is some reassurance. I am no one's son. My parents have claimed all of their children except for me. All I want is for a parental figure to look me in the eyes and tell me that I am theirs without hesitation. But that will never happen. No one cares for me that way, and the older I get the more likely I will remain a figurative orphan. I am as alone as I've always been, but seeing others not be always manages to make everything worse.
