Alone Together

Alone Together

I met a friend today in the bathroom at a dance event. We were talking in line, as women do, and she told me what she was struggling with her aloneness. She was not complaining, but it seemed she was grappling with being alone. I responded by saying that I am alone and struggle with this tool, but it feels like I need to be — that I just need to accept this aloneness because I am being forced to… and maybe, just maybe, it has a greater purpose.
