Loneliness is hard. And it's also hard to 'be what others want you to be' all the time. I can definitely relate to both these things. But what's even harder is learning to show and share your true self. To take a step back and realise who you are outside of the expectations of family members and your role in the family is a great challenge. I'm still trying to figure out who I am, but I've got a greater awareness of how my family and friends expectations impact on who I am and what I think I should do. I'm starting to try and find myself. That's lonely too.
