Being alone and being lonely are different things, and most of us were never taught the difference. One is an empty room; the other is an empty feeling in a crowded one.

That small practice is where both solitude and connection begin. #Loneliness #InnerPeace #MentalHealth #Mindfulness #AddictionRecovery
