Loneliness Quote by Jillian Lauren
![“Before that experience, I had often felt the kind of alone that comes from the suspicion that you are not only genetically different from those around you, but different in your very soul...[then] I was a different kind of alone. I was alone and ashamed of myself...it was no one's fault but mine.” quote by Jillian Lauren](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/52d/jillian-lauren-24337_loneliness_before-that-experience-i-had-often-felt_735731.jpg)
