(Not) Making Friends In Your Twenties
There is a quiet kind of loneliness that does not announce itself loudly.

There are so many afternoons where I almost don’t eat. This is not because I don’t care, but because it feels like one more thing I have to do. One more decision. One more demand on already low energy. And that’s exactly why this meal matters so much to me. It’s not about eating “healthy”…
