Quotes to ponder:
"Loneliness does not imply alone-ness. We can be lonely even when we are surrounded by people."
"Taking one deep breath helps us to consciously pause, reflect, and refocus our perceptions, removing us from the source of anxiety."
"Loneliness should be explored and understood before it is banished because it can inform us of behavior patterns that we need to change."
