You've touched on something really, really important here, Alex. Real, meaningful connections are crucial. Can the lack of them send us into depression? I'm not sure, but it's got to be a solid contributing factor, and it has to be meaningful connections. You can see from the string of celebrity suicides that being surrounded by people means absolutely jack shit. I certainly think it has to be a significant factor in bringing us out of depression. It's been proven that it is also a contributing factor for alcoholism.

Thanks so much for this question. This has been incredibly cathartic for me. Much love to you, and I hope you're feeling a lot better. I, too, am very much craving community. Surely it's coming soon.
