      We’re better together. Don’t try to survive on your own, having friends you can trust is crucial for survival

        that’s unfortunate, as I don’t really have any close friends I’d say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.

        sometimes that’s just how it is.

            well it’s too late for that, as I’m already isolated, so again – hopefully I will soon be better at being happy with little to be happy about.
