Loneliness can be suffocating, like the vacuum of space. Floating in the dark vastness of our selfhood, feeling untethered from all that is not us. These times have reminded us of the limits of individualism. Even in your darkest moments, nourish your spark, your inner illumination. Collect each soul ember, and add it to your Lantern. It will eventually light up your surroundings and you will see that we dwell not in a vacuum, but an immense ocean filled with beauty and meaning, populated by other souls looking for authentic connection. Find the Others.
