Here are some words of insight to help ease your mind and comfort your heart. In life we've found that people need one another. The presence of other people is essential. These people help to take the grind out of life, but bad company corrupts good morals. While the world around us gives us the oppostie counsel, our strength of understanding and loving stands firm and there is nothing shallow about that. Try to spend some time of your leisure finding pleasure and satisfaction in what you have done and as well as what you are. When we hit a tough spot in life, our tendency is to feel abandoned, or, as you said, alone...yet just the opposite is true because for that moment we are more than ever the object of our friends concern. So please know that those around you care deeply of how you are feeling and let your light shine in such a way that they may see your good works. Keep strong and keep inspiring.
