About This Quote
The time when we feel the most alone is the time we need to be together. The fact that we feel alone at such a time makes us feel more lonely. We tend to lose our perspective and then we start wallowing in self pity. We tend to suffer more because we can't stop thinking about how much we're hurting and how terrible the world is without us there.
