Wow, Thank you so much! Very insightful for me right now. As I age, I tend to move more inward & NEED the solitude of being alone. In order to have the energy to stay a light in these challenging times I have to recharge. I don't feel I have any close connections & want to have that in my life . I love life & want to live it to the fullest I can for as long as I can. I need to find my tribe 💗
