Sunday Evening and There's No One to Call - a story about loneliness

Loneliness isn't always fixed by finding people — sometimes it asks you to stop running from your own company. The small act of sitting with yourself, without distraction, is where real connection — with others and with life — starts to grow.

“Loneliness is not solved by being with people. It is solved by being with yourself first, so deeply that the loneliness turns into something else — the ground from which genuine connection grows.”
