  • I walked into this beautiful restaurant, located an empty table, and sat down. I looked around me; there were two, three, and more people at each table, eating, talking, and laughing together while I stayed quiet.
  • I felt lonely and sad. A drop of tears fell from the corner of my eyes. I cleaned it instantly so that people wouldn't notice it.
  • Sorry, I didn't introduce myself.
  • My name is Lydia James, and I am 28 years old.
  • You see that surname of mine? I don't know if it's truly my surname; I was only told it's my father's name.
  • I've never once set eyes on my parents. I was told when I was 12 years old that my father killed my mom and was sentenced to life in prison. That was why I was brought to a family house where I grew up and attended my primary, secondary, and college.
  • According to my godmother, she said I was eight months old when my dad killed my mom. I don't know if that is true or a lie; I grew up believing that.
  • I left my godmother's house after her death and burial; it wasn't easy for me, but I survived it.
  • Now that I'm a graduate, you won't believe me if I tell you that I've worked for more than six companies in just one year. For every little mistake I made, they just sacked me.
  • Everywhere I go, people hate me for nothing. No matter how hard I try to make them happy or see me as a good person, they will always hate me.
  • Life is so unfair to me. I've heard of people being unlucky, but I never believed it until now. I'm just unlucky; I'm bad luck.
  • Anywhere I go, disaster must happen there; nothing good comes out of me. Because of this, people hate me and don't want to see me anywhere close to them.
  • I'm always lonely; I have no family, no husband, no boyfriend, not even a common friend who will console me. Every day I cried and cried, regretting why I came to this world. I've never been happy all my life, from childhood until adulthood.
  • Today at work, I mistakenly poured coffee on my boss; that was it. The next thing he did was to sack me upon all my pleas, which all turned deaf ears.
  • Nobody begs him on my behalf because they hate me and want me out of the company. My boss threw me out of the company, and I cried in pain and frustration.
  • Where will I go from here? How will I get money to pay my house rent? God, why did you bring me to this wicked world to suffer when you know very well nobody will like or accept me? I thought, in tears and agony, looking up to God, maybe he would answer me.
  • Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one going through all these pains; in fact, I'm the only one. I've never seen anyone suffering or being treated like me.
  • The whole universe is against my existence. I know that God should just take my life so that I can rest because I'm physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally broken.
  • I wonder if I still have tears in my system.
  • Life is just too strong when it gets to me, but soft and smooth to others. Why me?
  • I left the company and came to this beautiful restaurant. As soon as I sat down, I looked around. There were a lot of people having fun with their families, boyfriends, girlfriends, and best friends while I sat lonely.
  • I found liquid rolling down my cheeks. I know what it is; it's my tears, the little ones that remain in my system, I guess.
  • I buried my head in my hands and allowed the tears to pour out freely.
  • I wish I had a sister or a friend I could go out with or lay my head on his or her shoulder at this point in my life; it would've been good, but unfortunately I have none. I am just alone here on earth.
