    Totally.

    I’m there right now in a way. Between pandemic, being single, and living off-grid in the woods…

    It’d been 2 years since I had any physical contact with anyone. Was visiting a friend a few weeks ago and they hugged me when I left. I had to pull back because I could feel the emotions building. Until that moment I hadn’t realized how lonely I was and how much I missed being close to another person. Didn’t think I had the desire to date again but now I know I have the need.
