ONLY CHILD

Yes, I am the only child of my parents. No siblings to share with, or fight with. But am I truly enjoying being alone? The fear of not meeting expectations a seed once sown has grown into a dead tree, rooted in my heart. My happiness is lost in a dense forest, without a trace. The weight of responsibility clings to my shoulders like a burden I can’t shake. This solitary journey of mine, which makes others jealous, is actually exhausting. But still, I keep on trying to move a step forward, Whispering to myself: "it's okay to be alone" Finding peace in this journey of loneliness.
