Let's talk about IT

There is this huge elephant in the room called Loneliness. Nobody wants to talk about it, but tonight I feel like I do.

If you asked me not so long ago, I would probably be ashamed to tell people that despite being surrounded by many, I often feel lonely. It feels like in our society being lonely is considered as a weakness or a consequence of not being able to build and maintain relationships, so people avoid discussing the one subject, that is possibly suffocating many from inside. 

Obviously, there are millions of reasons why human beings surround some people and abandon others. Life happens, we grow up and grow apart, we say things we didn't mean, we forget to call, we get hurt, we are too proud to say sorry, we act egoistically.... the bottom line is - we fuck up. Everybody does.

But WHY DON'T WE TALK TO ONE ANOTHER? Why do we allow ourselves and people close to us to fill up their rooms with elephants instead of being there for one another?

And somehow, when I see articles that there are ministers of loneliness appointed by the European governments, it becomes clear that it is no longer a problem of an individual, but the society as a whole.
