Have you ever been desperately lonely while hanging out with a group of friends? At times, I’m almost lonelier with friends than I am when I’m truly alone.
Tonight I went out to a BBQ and as I sat there amongst my friends, with our children running around, I thought I would die of loneliness. I couldn’t wait to return home, to my sanctuary of solitude. To the place where I don’t have to pretend, where I don’t have to wear a smile or force out a laugh — to the place where I feel safe.
