Empty mind

Why does everyone seem to have anxiety and depression nowadays? We are always surrounded by people, if not people our gadgets are always there to give us company and yet we feel so alone inside.

Random thoughts

Don't you feel like isolating yourself from the rest of the world sometimes. Somedays the days are hard or suddenly even like 1 person speaking becomes noise to you and you feel so irritated that you just want to be left alone. But no matter how much you want to be alone, if you look at it you are not. You always have someone . It can be your mom, your dad, your sibling, your best friend we always tend to seek attention when we demand for some peace. But what will happen if we get exactly what we want. One morning we decide that there is too much happening in our life, we need a break, you know some time for yourself and we get it... all alone with no living being on sight.....what will happen??
