I took your advice and visited her Pinterest page. First I thought it wasn’t her page because I was new to Pinterest. But pictures of herself and the words “lonely” in several pictures assured me that it’s her own Pinterest page. I like how she presents her work on a crumpled paper with her own handwriting. She created two distinct styles of typefaces using just her hands on paper and it somehow has better effect than just using different typefaces on a digitally produced work. The words “easy & weightless” are written lighter than other words and they add more feelings and emphasis to the words. Also “if you” is written in the same way but this one stands out from the other capitalized edge letters.
The way I interpret this poem is that loneliness is a release that is not negative, but positive. It allows one to "breath easy & weightless" meaning that when an individual is lonely, they can forget the burdens of society and any other problems they may have.
This poem emphasizes the fact that "loneliness" is a feeling that one should embrace, not fear. The poet portrays this by using a different font for the words easy & weightless, she changes the font for these words to emphasize the feeling of cheerfulness one should feel when alone, and that when your alone you should be able to grow as a person and not let the feeling of loneliness hold you back.
