Do you feel lonely?
I can make an probable estimation that you do, because loneliness is something that we all feel at some point in our lives.
It is more a matter of when.
Loneliness can take many forms, and one of these forms is isolation.
You are probably thinking that I am going to suggest that you surround yourself with family, friends, and other loved ones — but that is not the solution in every case.
We can be lonely in a crowded room, after all.
However, there is much to be said for reading about, or listening to, somebody who feels a similar way — or has been through a similar experience.
I don't know how to articulate the feeling, but it's almost like two people sharing emotions on the same topic, and at the centre of that sharing is an equilibrium that is catharsis for both of us.
The writer, and the reader.
And it is my hope that this essay provides said catharsis for you.
