nothing is less

have you ever felt so alone when all you needed was a pat in the back telling you that you can do it? i think it's weird how sometimes we seek comfort from strangers because it is so much easier to pour out all that is bothering you to them because they don't know you therefore they cannot judge you. but thing is, i don't even have a stranger to talk to. all the pain and fear i feel i just push them down when it seems overwhelming. and sometimes, i just don't know what to do anymore. do i give up? or do i go on? is it pointless to carry on? or would things be better if I just held on a little longer?
