"Alone" doesn't always mean "lonely"
Recently I saw a TikTok of a girl crying on a train while looking at an elderly man who was sitting alone, adjacent to her. (I'm not going to post it here because it was from a smaller creator, and I don't want to indirectly send hate their way.) The caption was praising this girl (the poster's sister) for having such a huge heart for feeling compassion for an old man. Other comments were praising her for being an empath and understanding his "pain" so much.

All I Want For Christmas Is To Be Left Alone
Dear Santa, I know it has been a while since you have seen my name on your nice list. I truly have worked hard this year to not say anything if I couldn't say something nice and to treat others as I would want to be treated. Even though, I know this means I should expect a visit from you this Christmas Eve, I wanted to write to ask to please just fly past my house this year.

I Used To Break Every Mirror
There's an old saying, "breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck," and though I never remembered physically breaking one, I grew up looking into any mirror and saw cracked pieces. My reflection was always a topic of conversation with myself because I felt like I didn't belong to the body that stood in front of me. I developed poor self-esteem and made careless life choices that hindered growth throughout my twenties. However, something changed in me when I turned twenty-five; I threw caution to the wind and sold my car, moved to California, followed a small path to expand my passion for writing, moved back home to South Carolina, then moved to Michigan, and stumbled into finding the beginning of a mirror I couldn't break.

My Marriage with Running
Running and I have been in a relationship since I was in middle school. I joined the middle school cross-country team and fell for the sport immediately. (For those of you reading this saying “running isn’t a sport” then you’re wrong and we are moving on) I was never very good in middle school and really became serious about running in High school.
