Hello Strong Fellas!!!
Quoting Loneliness a great man once said...
"You can live alone, work alone, travel alone
while feeling at peace with yourself,
it's just loneliness hits differently..."
Back with yet another episode of this month...Here is the song dedicated to this episode.
Well, one might ask why loneliness...well there is an answer to that in the latter part of the episode but for now, I would like to say that life is not been easy from childhood to school and from school to college to the job where some significant part of your life you have been habited to live alone in different parts and phases socialism doesn't come that handy. And loneliness mine friend is one such thing that every finest human face along the way but why discuss???...the answer is simple you just need to be aware that some people are fighting the battle within and when you are aware of such thing you will be able to deal with the problem of people and not just the people better...So, here is the episode dedicated to the Unsung Warriors not everyone knows about... also the motive of the episode here is not to justify but to really discuss the problems of lonely people to understand their situation better.
So, It's not wrong putting it this way...
Loneliness--What the F***K???

After the hit of Covid-19, it's been almost two years we have been living in the self-quarantine mood and getting used to the so-called ' New Normal' avoiding meeting and attending video conferencing, maintaining social distancing, being away from our second home whether it may be offices, colleges, schools, and might be some of us may miss that travel life that we used to have pre covid, although some relaxation we experienced a few months back for the few months and now we are again hit by the second wave that has now lead us again back to 'new normal' in which masking up and home quarantine is our only way out from this pandemic. Due to the occurrence of current circumstances, we are experiencing mixed of suffocating ( an anxious feeling of when this all will end) and happiness (being grateful to work from home and stay closer to the family and not to mention the most important luxury of home-cooked food 😍) emotions. This everything combined has resulted in the loneliness epidemic which we are facing currently.
