00:00And so, so many people are left feeling empty, devoid, isolated.
00:05And so, people, for the most part, have become incapable of connecting in real time anymore.
00:10And that's not because they're not still human.
00:13It's because they do not seek to know people for any reason other than resourcing what they can gain.
00:21And so, those who give and give do so much most of the time because they know what it's like
00:28not to have.
00:29And they don't want anyone else to feel the same way.
00:33But then later, those same people find they feel empty, lonely, and they tend to become avoidant because they never
00:41get anything back.
00:42And so, that well that they've been giving from eventually goes dry until they feel like they have no importance,
00:49value, or worth in their lives.
00:53And a lot of people are incredibly lonely even when they have a perceived level of people connected to them
00:59because they don't live a legitimate life.
01:02And they hide behind tons of masking.
01:04Which is something else that makes it even harder to realize and connect with others on because it's so hard,
01:12so often, to tell who is acting and who is genuine.
01:18Which leads me to the whole point why I wanted to lead this conversation tonight.
01:22Is you see, there's this sort of situation that often comes where I think that a lot of people fail
01:42to realize that we are all in a storm.
01:44And that's a key reason we often need support.
01:47So, if you feel space might help you in some case or someone else has let you know that they
01:57need it.
01:58Instead of taking that as a loss, it's really a good opportunity to work on anything that you feel lacks
02:05internally within yourself.
02:07And then if that person comes back, when or if they do, then you are emotionally fortified at that point.
02:16So, this is also a personal thing for me here.
02:19I would prefer to find someone who would navigate those storms as I rebuild my life.
