Being surrounded by people is as vital to our well being as having a safe place to live and food to eat. We really can't understate how important it is to feel surrounded by those who you could lean upon, or just people o you have fun with. I talk to my friend sydney about this all the time. But she had this experience, and i hope she doesn't mind me talking about it, because it is quite comforting to think about how much she's kind of grown and learnt from the process.
