We all belong here.

Where was I when everyone else was making friends?
and will there be a catch up session for those of us who missed it?

This is a monologue audio
It's about my youth group which really helped with social issues of moving primary school, tutoring, viet school, high school etc cause no matter that you finish school, what school you go or went to, that I got bullied at school, the same group of friends come to temple on Sundays.

I've been there since 2017, when I was in year 7, I graduated school in 2022, my support network at temple lasted more than most friendships and connections at high school cause I left high school but not my temple

Loneliness is the absence of someone that you can trust and rely on during your worst and best times, someone who can resonate with your experiences. When you are alone you can only persevere so much before you need someone else to help you bear your burden. Once you find this person, you both become an unbeatable force taking on the world and everything it has to throw at you.

Hi, I'm Jackie I'm 18 from Vic. This is my digital artwork.

Finishing high school means a chapter is closed, a world left behind.
Yet peace feels far away, hard to find.
The friends you thought would always stay slowly start to fade away.
There is a choice of a career, a chapter, a life to make, but none of it feels real, or fake.
The overwhelming pressure can sometimes make you truly feel alone.
We search for answers in all the wrong places, and end up in empty spaces.
There’s no guidance or rule book to the perfect adulthood.
And when the consistency around you fades unlike it should, it can sometimes make you feel lonely.
