I used to think loneliness meant empty space. Now I know it can happen in a full house. Toys on the floor. Kids yelling. TV on. Dog moving around. Work phone buzzing. Life everywhere. And underneath all of that: loneliness so dense it feels physical. Because again, it’s not about generic human contact. It’s not about noise. It’s not about occupancy. It’s about the absence of one specific person who made all the other stuff feel shared instead of just surrounding.
