It’s been a long day…
I wasn’t going to write today, but then my friend asked me “how are you feeling today?” And it’s like the flood gates opened in my mind. I’ve been numbing myself with escapism a lot, knowing partly it was because my mom and sister were going to travel to Turkey and that I couldn’t go […]

What if someone you know and care about is feeling lonely?
You may think things like “How can they feel lonely when they have an amazing family?” or “I’m their friend.
