I’m not sure exactly when this hit me, but I’m assuming in the last couple weeks since this last lockdown. I’ve hit lonely! And it wasn’t too long ago I said to a friend, I’m never lonely. “There’s always something I can do.” But what a difference between doing and feeling. Doing is what I was doing so that I didn’t have to feel my lonely.
