Going through the motions…

Loneliness has been a constant companion lately… and it’s kind of weird to wrap my mind around that concept because I have been interacting with more people on a regular basis than I normally do… Yet loneliness has still been a constant companion lately… And I am not one who really needs a ton of interaction with people because that can actually be quite draining to my inner introvert whose hobbies and career have always required extrovert behavior… But lately … Continue reading “Going through the motions…”
