# Lonely in middle of a crowd. I felt so alone in a crowd today. It's strange how that can happen, isn't it? But I tried to calm myself with a few deep breaths and reminded myself that it's temporary. I made an effort to connect with someone, even if it was just a quick "hi." It made a difference. It's tough, but I know it'll pass. Staying present and being kind to myself is key. In the end, I realize that I'm the one who can find the solution to my own problems.
