The Echoes In My Skull

After everything, you will discover that loneliness is just not finding yourself, because there’s no one around to find yourself in.

(You will discover: we need someone else to see us, to be able to see ourselves.)

I was always told that finding yourself with someone else doesn't count. That I was the only person who could know me. Someone else knows me better than I know myself now, and it helped me see myself. But it felt wrong for such a long time. It doesn't feel so wrong anymore. Thank you

Agreed. I find it ironic that people often say that they're temporarily leaving a relationship to find / see themselves.

I guess in the end it all comes down to one thing: Do you live your life or someone else's.
