I don't drink, but I know what loneliness and depression feels like. And those are the times I ended up in those places just looking for an iota of connection to save me. We're crying out for help and no one will help us.
so many people are living in a world now where they act like there's nothing better to do on the train
I'm guilty of this too, but when I look up and see 3-4 people staring down at their phones I put mine away. It's a really stark image. We are blind. It doesn't matter than the screen isn't yet mounted on our faces, we are already so oblivious to the power it holds over us. I'm staring at this screen but I should be staring at the beautiful view out of my window. So I might go do that now!
I appreciate this comment - I'm going to walk outside and do the same.
Tonight I did talk to real people (strangers at a bar) and had a good long conversation about the world. We need that. But also just to look away from the screen and see each other, That is most important. Thanks.
