Loneliness Is the First Cut.

Let’s stop pretending it doesn’t.
It’s not “mental illness.” It’s not weakness.
It’s chronic emotional disconnection.
It’s the feeling of being untouched, unheard, unseen — for years.

And it’s deadly.

Most people don’t need a diagnosis.
They need real connection, real truth, and a reason to stay alive.

If you're in that pit right now, here’s how to start climbing out:

Speak. Even if your voice shakes. Talk to someone real.

Move. Go outside. Walk. Let your body feel gravity again.

Create. Write, scream, build, paint — give your pain shape.

Interrupt the loop. Change your environment, even for a minute.

Surround yourself with symbols of strength. Not positivity. Power.
(That’s why I build this art.)

This isn’t some feel-good post.
This is a warning.
Don’t isolate. Don’t scroll past.

🛑 You were never meant to carry all that alone.

🖼 This is the Burden Barrier.
Not a painting.
A print made to break silence and hit the soul.
