I absolutely think we are lonely as a whole. But I also think that it’s hard to distinguish between being alone and being lonely (or at least I do). It’s a question I get asked often: Isn’t living alone lonely? Well I spent my whole day with other people, so no 🤣

But positively less lonely by knowing you!

I love being alone and choose to spend a lot of my time that way, but I can also feel lonely in a room full of people. I think it's more about the quality of those connections. And I totally agree that I'm absolutely less lonely here with you!

I've been trying to do more phone calls and more zooms to supplement IRL. Substack has been a great source of additional friendships.
