Today, I don't know. Exhaustion, lack of sleep, the sting of people I do favours for trying to suck more, and more, and more out of me. The realisation that a person who was a friend for the last 7 or 8 years has drifted out of my life and the realisation that I don't want them back in it because they have just dropped me like a stone and I don't want people like that in my life. The fact I live in a city and sometimes I just want to be out by the sea, with nobody for miles, just the seagulls and endless expanse of sky and nothing to do. The realisation that I am getting older and may have learned useful things too late to be of any use. The losses I've endured, and the ones that are to come. The constant demands my work makes of me, to reward me with this empty, broken feeling as I stare at 4 walls and just wish there was someone to talk to.
And this. I can really relate to the whale

The Loneliest Whale in the World.
"In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean."
